In reply to Paxil withdrawal, posted by Sofia on May 24, 2001, at 20:31:04
> I've been taking Paxil (20 and now 30 mg) for a few months. I'm becoming convinced that I have to quit. My sleep is very shallow, I wake up many times during the night. Almost every night just as I'm falling asleep, I get this huge twitch in the entire body that wakes me up. I'm sleepy when I don't want or need to be and not sleepy at night. My face often gets bright red and hot for no apparent reason. I constantly feel bloated with unending amounts of gas... I had ringing in my ears (only once.) I did get a yeast infection and a rash, though I don't know for certain whether it's related. I also feel tired a lot and have this dull headache or just tension in my head. NOT FUN... So, I think I'm going to start tapering off tonight. Despite the benefits, the price is too high... Any suggestions on successful quiting?
