Paxil and dizzy spells

This is to #31213. I too was on Paxil for 6 months. It took me 4 months to get off that damn pill. This is how I got off it.
_reduce dosage untill you get to lowest dosage.
_Then only take pill every other day or third day(few weeks)
_Then cut pill in half and take every other day or every day (what ever works) Try to go to every other day in some time
_Then cut the half pill into another half (take a few weeks)
_Continue to lower dosage this way until you are only able to lick the powder because the dosage is so low.

When living your days with those awful dizzy spells and brain attacks, Look forward and down throughout the day as much as possible. Try not to turn your head alot! This will help the dizzyness somewhat!

I had all the same effects your girlfriend did and my doctor also said to go to 0 dosage or stay on. That was bull ****! I found the right way from reading other storys! Good Luck!

I've been taking Paxil CR for over a year now for anxiety attacks and mild depression. I haven't had any problems with it until recently when my prescription ran out and my mom hasn't called the doctor to re-order it (I'm 17). I've had a chronic migraine for 3 days, dizzy spells where I have to hold onto things when I walk to keep from falling, nausea, difficulty breathing, and a racing pulse. I'm convinced these symptoms are withdrawls from not taking the Paxil for over a week. I, too, have had an overactive sex drive from Paxil. The constant feeling of being on the verge of an orgasm is truly annoying. Glad to know I'm not the only person with that problem.

I have been taking paxil, I get confused, frustrated,verry emotional,dizzy spells so bad I cant walk or drive I hold on to things to keep from falling, sleep on the floor now for 3 years have fallen out of bed,I have moodswings,sex drive has ran out the door, no energy no sleep at night hard to take care of family any thing sets me off, have trouble breathing,keep server miagrains,and more all this would make someone feel stupid but the dr just keeps writing it and others out and sayen nothings wrong, THIS IS NOT RIGHT you know when something is wrong and not normal

I took paxil for over a year, I stop cold turkey because I read one of the side effet,affect your liver, I felt dizzy spells my head felt disconnected, I had terrible nightmare my sex drive decreased, weight gain, chest pain , slow heart beat , felt so tire and sad after getting off paxil, I'm going back to my doctor . I'm reserching every medication prescribed to me before I take it.

Don't take Paxil or Paxil CR.

Have taken a 30 day round of Paxill CR 12.5mg and have been off for 8 days. While on the drug my hands shook so bad I could not write or hold a cup. My heart raced and I had dizzy spells. It did, however; allow my current stress/anxiety level to become tollerable. My thinking was much more clear. Now that I am off I have noticed diminished shaking and racing. Jan 23,2003
