I just found this group a few days ago.  Hope ya'll can help me get
through this. ; I stopped taking Paxil after 7 years 2 weeks ago.  I
was taking it to basically even out my mood (especially PMS LOL). ;
And it worked GREAT.  Until this past year I had gotten to where I
didn't care about much of anything.  So I stopped it cold turkey.  I
survived the zaps and fuzzy headed-ness fairly well. ; But now I am
having panic attacks (never had them before), crying jags, "black
thoughts" about myself, and some really weird scarey heart beat
things have started going on. 

The panic attacks are awful - anything sets them off.  I generally
end up crying in the bathroom (so nobody will think/know I am losing
my mind) until they pass. ; But they take almost an hour to pass. ; I
try to focus on something positive and tell myself it will pass. ; But
my "self" is convinced that I will die in the next few seconds.  This
is horrible.  It is literally driving me crazy.  I don't know how
much longer I can take this. ; Can anyone tgive me an idea how long
this "dark side" lasts?

Has anyone else had weird heartbeats?  They happen about every 15
minutes and scare the #$%^ out of me.  It's almost as if my heart
stops for a few seconds and then doubles up.  A few episodes have
been so bad I started blacking out.

I hate this. ; How much longer?!!!
