I was on Paxil, 20mg then 30mg for about 2 years. My doctor took me off of it slowly, because he knew of the awful withdrawl effects. It took a month of tapering it off, and I still had withdrawl effects: Terrible dizziness, twitching of my legs and arms, itchyness of my feet when I tried to sleep, cold sweats, hot flashes, no appitite, and most scary of all was the nystagmus (uncontrollable jerks of the eye in horizontal directions when you move your eyes or head). My doctor said that not many people have this symptom, but that it was caused by the Paxil withdrawl. If anyone has jerky eyes they can't control while coming off paxil, mail me at ****** and I can tell you more, maybe reassure you that it will get better.
Long story short, about 2 weeks after coming off the last few milligrams of Paxil and everything (even the nystagmus) is gone.

I was taking Lamictal (600 mg) for 8 years and had 2 minor seizures per week. I was able to read, write, good memory, think and talk properly.
My doctor added Depakote(750 mg/day) to control seizures. My seizures almost stopped in 4 weeks. However my body started shaking all day so much that I am unable to write and eat food properly.
I like to know if shaking of my body is the side effect of Lamictal with Depakote..

Very strange, I also had an attack of vertigo with nystagmus (hoizontal) that was thought to be Meniere's disease. Kept on same dosage (3000mg a day) due to Kidney transplant. Otherwise, fatigue and weakness are only other direct side effects.
