Hi all...I was on Paxil for almost 3 years. Let me tell you, getting off it was pure hell. I was an emotional wreck. Sobbing constantly, depressed, severe anxiety attacks, insomnia, lack of appetite and went through a divorce. By the way, I did this cold turkey. I must be a sadist. Not to mention the sexual side effects of Paxil. They were horrendous! Had to get off. Talk about tettering on the brink of insanity! But, I did it. 3 weeks of hell, But it was done. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress. I started having severe anxiety again, but refused to get back with the devil (Paxil)My therapist suggested getting back on a SSRI. I had to think about it. Then my Doctor talked about Celexa and after reading up on it, I will chance it. I just started and will keep my fingers crossed. I will post my feelings and symptoms as they come.
