| 1 | Anxiety | Bad withdrawals. Withdrawals included: nausea, "the zaps", severe fatigue, depersonalization, constricted pupil causing "tunnel-vision", chills and anxiety. While weaning off I had suicidal thoughts. I have been on this for 14 years and I am 28 so who knows what sexual dysfunctions I consider "normal". | This medication caused me more distress than my anxiety did. I experienced withdrawals if I was a few hours late taking my daily pill. Wean off SLOWLY and work with your Doctor during the process. I went from 40mg to 2.5mg (cut up 5mg pills). I constantly see commercials from law offices asking, Did you take Paxil while pregnant and your baby was born with a heart defect, lung defect or other serious medical condition..if so call so and so because you may be entitled to financial compensation. If it does horrible things to fetuses what has it been doing to me for the past 14 years??? | F | 28 | 14 times 40 1X D | 6/24/2010 | |
