Hi, I have been off paxil now for almost 2 weeks and sometimes I get these weird feelings in my head or my heart beats weird and it makes me really scared and I think that I'm going to die. I stop and stay completely still and then measure my pulse and realize I am not going to die. I get really weird feelings in my head like headaces at the very back on my head and odd brain sensations. I usualy get these feelings several times a day and they last from a period of 1 to 5 minutes usually. I also have this paranoid feeling that Paxil gave me brain damage and that these symptoms will never subside. It's been 3 weeks. How long does this withdrawl last??
Yesterday I took celexa (20 mg). I was going to try celexa for a month and see how things went but instantly after taking it I started panicing. I picked up my guitar and couldn't remeber any songs that I played and I was extremely weak and my heart was pounding. Every side effect that I experienced with Paxil came back instantly when I took celexa. I looked at my self in the mirror and my pupils were dialated and then noticed all these weird acne type spots on my arms. I was thinking this could have been allergic reaction. I guess ssri's aren't for me. I hope my Wellbutrin sr along with a benzo works out fine.
