Hey to you too :)
I called my pdoc this evening. He pretty much said what you did. It can't be withdrawal because it's still in my system. It's probably side effects from starting the med, which is pretty scary considering I was only taking 5 mg. What am I taking it for? Why did I quit?
I recently tapered off Paxil and did so very successfully after using liquid suspension for about 3 weeks. Then I would say about 10 days ago, maybe a few days after I'd been off the Paxil entirely, I started feeling pretty sad again and during my appointment with the pdoc (he does talk therapy with me too) asked for some Prozac. So I started that but felt weird after like the second dose. So as I said, I stopped taking it on Monday. I've been careless with meds and that's why I've felt really poorly the last two days: bad anxiety, palpitations, confusion, chills, etc. And, of course, it doesn't help that I have a sinus infection.
That's the summary. Rough stuff. I didn't have this type of reaction when I started Paxil for the first time. I guess every drug is different.
