I have been on paxil for ten years . I decided after doing some research and talking to other people that I want to get off of this drug. I am tired of my doctor telling me that it is not addictive. I am seriously thinking on getting another dr. It has been almost two weeks since I took any pill. My withdrawal seems to be getting worse but I read on one of these forums that withdrawal will not kill me and I keep plugging. I did give up anything with caffeine. I loved my coffee. I just switched to decaf tea or herbal tea. Sooner or later I figure I will start to feel better. It may take months though as i have been on ten mg for years. Then for about 6 months I took a half pill. Then I lowered it to a half pill every other day and then I went to when I could not stand the withdrawal. Now I just said the heck with it and quit. Any advice what I can do yet to help with the withdrawal. I hate the dizziness. That has got to be the worse. I feel like everything has gotten louder to me. And I snap everyone's head off. I hope this wont last much longer. Just need to vent.

My doctor told me how to wean off of it and I felt dizzy, lips went numb. I snapped at my sister, and then my Mom and Dad. I'm not that kind of person to be so short fused. It's the medication. Thank you for posting your experience.
