In reply to paxil help please!, posted by gdog on May 25, 2001, at 12:11:59
> Hi all, I'm new to this board, reading it just since my p.doc prescribed paxil (after tryin several other meds). I've taken 10mg daily for 8 days. Now I want to stop - all that I've read here and elsewhere is just too scary. Please give me advice on stopping now. The side effects right now are driving me crazy - intense anxiety. Please advise.
My anxiety attacks went away with taking Paxil. I thought I felt great but all I really felt was nothing. It really helps a lot of people with their anxiety and who knows, maybe you won't have the side effects or the withdrawal effects like I am. Talk to your Dr and let him know how you feel. You have to start there first. I took it for a year so I don't know what the withdrawal reaction would be with only being on it for 8 days. My attacks were gone in 2 days of taking it though and I was on 20mg. Who knows maybe it isn't right for you. But do call your Dr. Good luck
