Originally weht on 20mg/increased to 40mg Paxil due to increased
anxiety due to inabilitly to control hormonal changes during menopause.
Now due to unforseen circumstances, I am not working, therefore have no
Insurance. I have had to COLD TURKEY the Paxil without weaning the
dosage. I am now discovering the very uncomfortable and quite painful
side effects. It has been about 1 week now and the most annoying symptom
is the swiching sound in my head/ears when I turn my head even the
slightest of motions. The hot and cold sweats during the night and day
are just annoying, but the insomnia and arm/leg flailing are relentless.
The muscle aches, more so in my neck are very painful. Now I've started
with abdominal cramping and nausea. Anyone have any suggestions on how to
get through this and how long these symptoms are going to last?
