I would like to stop taking paxil, I have been on it for 3 yrs. When I skip my medicine I get what feels like electrical shocks in my neck & head. I wasnt sure if I had a pinched nerve at 1st but began to associate this with the event that I had not taken my meds. I also have onset of panic attacks & rapid heart, & terrible terrible forgetfulness, as to even what cabinet I would like to open, I open the wrong one, go into the wrong doorway, wrong driveway. I am very concerned. I have told my Dr. that I would like to get off this Paxil but Ive been told that it would be best since I was suffering from anxiety attacks in past. I would like to be committed to be able to handle the withdrawls. If anyone has been successful in stopping Paxil and now feels pretty back to normal, please let me know. Thanks

I've been taking Paxil CR for 2 weeks now and have had a few side effects:
Increased urination
Sweating (for no reason)
and dry mouth (bad breath)
Not sure if the side effects are not worse than what the pill was meant to cure!!
Should I give it more time - maybe 3-4 weeks??? Do some of the side effects ever go away? So far, the pill seems to have no effect on my metal attitude.

headaches , dry mouth, vivid dreams ending in sweats. sweat so much i need a towel to dry off, i dont get it. im taking 37.5mg each day. i dont feel good at all(( not suicidal no way) after a year and a half on the paxil cr. at first it helped to postpone anxiety attacks so that i could function and get groceries. whats happening now i have no idea but im told i will be on this long term even tho i have expressed that i want to get down to a minimum dosage of like 10 or 12 mg.

When I took paxil, I was tired, gained a lot of weight which in turn depressed me more, also had a dry mouth which lead to a very sore mouth and teeth breaking.
