Yesterday I tapered again. This time down to 3mg of paxil. Tonight I will take none. So far it seems no withdrawl symptoms. This is my second day taking less paxil. The first day I had some nightmares. Unlike certain times in my depression where the nightmares were meant to be horrific yet not really scary to me due to lack of emotions... this time they actually were scary a bit. I hope this is a good sign. Today though the nightmares were less mild.In bed before getting up I was able to actually be very slightly more interested in old activities. And last night I had some tiny thoughts of creativity.
Perhaps the paxil prevented my condition from getting better. Perhaps it made things worse than they would have normally been. I do feel a tiny bit less numb right now but it is hard to tell. Also my thinking ability last night was very slightly improved. I was able to think of things for more than 10 seconds without having it all fade away and turn blank.
I am looking forward to seeing how I feel in the coming days. Hopefully I will feel a bit better without the paxil. And hopefully the Wellbutrin will work great when I have it in 6 days.
While I seem to be a little bit better right now it is such a long long way to go. I wish I had never taken that accutane.
