I can't comment on Paxil withdrawal, but as a military brat I understand the dr. situation. Any chance you could get a new shrink? Because even if your behavior IS hostile, childish, or whatever he wants to call it, there is probably a reason for it (that is eluding him?).

Regarding the Paxil and withdrawal. It's not a good idea to cold turkey off a psych med. It may help if you actually get back on Paxil and go through a weaning process (reduce your dose over a period of weeks). There are other people here that can give you more info.

Good luck! And stay away from the military dentists!

> OK heres my story, a few months ago I was diagnosed by my family physician as having anxiety disorder. She put me on Paxil and referred me to a psychiatrist. Paxil worked wonders until I started gaining weight! Got off the Paxil and on Wellbutrin for anxiety and Klonopin for sleep.
> I am going through severe Paxil withdrawl which my pdoc thinks is all in my head, today he even called me hostile, childish, and uncivilized! He is a military psychiatrist by the way. Soooo, dont know what to do now. I have never felt this sick in my life, I cry for what seems hours at a time, chills and sweats, elecitric like zaps to my brain, face, and hands, dizziness to the point where I cant drive and I have a 4 year old to take care of by myself! (hubby is stationed in Korea) No family around to help since we are in a strange place and my DR. is just a big jerk! Any suggestions?
