Gosh, I hope you're going off the Paxil slowly. The light flashes and diszziness are definitely Paxil withdrawal. I think my Dr. had me go off my 20mg over a period of a month. Wellbutrin did nothing for my anxiety. Just so you know. My shrink put me on Effexor once the Paxil weight gain kicked in. Try to get a different doctor. You need someone who takes your symptoms seriously.
> 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?
