I posted this on the medications board, but an answer I received made me wonder if it was actually withdrawal I was going through.
I've been on Paxil for 10 years (for panic disorder), and recently cross tapered to Prozac because I would like to have a child and my pdoc advised that it was safer. I have been on 20mg of the prozac for 3 weeks (and 15mg 2 weeks before that, 10mg 3 weeks before that). I find I still feel quite stimulated and anxious - what I put down to the start up effect of Prozac. But shouldn't that have stopped by now? I've been taking it for 8 weeks all up. I'm starting to wonder if it's actually withdrawal from the Paxil since I was on it so long.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Thanks
Jax
