I have been on paxil Cr For 3years and at first it helped me gain weight and no attacks. Well now i have tried to get off of it and i cant. I get really sick and start shaking and having fevors and cant eat or sleep. I have tried everything and I cant get off. I am talking to a Lawyer now and I am tring to sue the manafacture. I want everyone to know that this isnt something that you mess around with. Yes it helps you for awhile but try to get off of it and you will be back where you started or even worse. I cant leave my house or anything or travel out of state away from home without taking more than normal so i wont get sick. I have tried to wing myself off and it doesnt work. My doctor doesnt believe me when I tell him whats going on. I jut want everyone to know that its not a safe medicine. If you just started it get off now and dont wait this is serious. Thanks Lindsey
