the xanax was given to me to help me sleep because when i go to bed i start thinking of crazy things that would become a full blown panic attack like i would start thinking about what if something happened to one of my children, or what would i do if someone in my family passed away just crazy thoughts...so i was placed on xanax...well one night i forgot to take it (only been on it 2 weeks) and the next day i was feeling really bad, it felt like my insides was just gonna shake right out of me and also had spasams all over my body and come to find out from what i was told on this board it sounded like w/d from the xanax so that told me right there i did not need that med so i have slowly taken myself off from it and been off from it for over 2 weeks (maybe less,not sure) so i let my body get rid off all that med and then my doc rx'd me this paxil...but if it has anything like the xanax w/d symptoms i will not take it at all...i will just stick to the lexapro and be done with it
in my experience the paxil is gonan be just as bad. but i dont wanan be a definitive source you know. there were days when if i was an hour later in taking my paxil then the day b4 my head woudl get real trashed and I'd have to sleep it off for a day. even after the initial 3 weeks in bed withdrawls afetr quitting it it then took at least a month or more after that for me to feel liek it was gone. Paxil is just like Valium or Xanax in withdrawl symptoms etc. there are websites dedictaed to helping ppl kick paxil as most ppl cant stop it b/c they cant handle the withdrawls etc. I have 120 paxil cr's right here unopened selaed that i'll enver touch that I had left over i will never ever ever take paxil again no matter what. But liek i said this all could just be me. either way i hope you find what works for you. even when the paxil was working which after ahwil u will have tolerance if i bent over too qucikly or anythign my head woudl instantly be "swimmiing" feelign and i be in bed rest of day.
