Hey Khithere, I am 5 days off the evil elixer. I'm doing fine !but I know what you mean, the head zaps were nearly unbearable, the fluttering in my rt ear, started torturing me as I was weaning off, it's practically unobservable now.
Maybe you need to change doctors, Why does he have you on such a dose? ;I was on 20 for 7 yrs (off and on) panic attacks etc. I cold turkeyed 3 yrs ago, went back on last Oct, now I'm off , the weight gain thing was scaring me too, it did very little for my depression. I walk 2 miles everyday and that was very important, (tire myself out so I don't think to much, reading, hobby's projects help. I'm determined to stay off these anti depressant drugs

day of Paxil for almost 12 years if you can
believe it!!!! It has robbed me of my real personality, zest for life
and all energy. I am a tired zombie all the time! My daughter doesn't
even know the real me. I have tried to wean myself off of it a couple
of times and it was the worst nightmare of my life. My head felt like
it would split open and I couldn't see. I would just bawl and bawl. I
have also gained about 8 million pounds. (Some due to taking Paxil
thank you very much) My dr. has written me a perscription for
Wellbutrin that I am going to try to switch over to. How do I do this?
How long does it take? I know the tapering off thing will make me
crazy
again...I am terrified.
