rick-
after the extended contact with the gaping maw of hell itself was finished, i started researching the syndrome and found that the most commonly advocated form of easing the withdrawal was a single dose of prozac. seems its MUCH longer half-life eases the agony considerably. i ended up in the ER after five days of auditory hallucinations, inability to keep food down and straight-"A" craziness. the first thing they gave me was ativan and it gave me the first non-psychotic minutes i'd seen in what very much felt like three forevers. after about a week on ativan, most of the paxil withdrawal effects were gone. personally, i seriously question the worth of the drug itself. all it did for me was blow me up like a goddamn balloon. never did SQUAT for my depression-sure did a number on my finances though! i wish you the best of luck in getting off the trash-have you tried really small dosage reductions? how does herr dokktorr react to your situation?
