> I HAVE NOT TAKEN LEX(MY MEDICATION)FOR ABOUT 6 DAYS NOW. I THINK I AM EXPERIENCING WITHDRAWELS. I DO NOT FEEL WELL AT ALL. MY HEAD IS VERY DIZZY. I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A TUNNEL. MY HEART HURTS ALSO. DO HAVE A CALL INTO MY DOCTOR. HAS ANYONE EVER GONE THROUGH THIS?
My doctor has me weaning off of the Lexapro and slowing adding the Zorloft. But, when I stopped taking my Paxil cold turkey, I don't even know where to start to tell you the side effects I had from doing that. The night sweats terribly, dizziness and the feeling of "electrical shocks" throughout my body. Not to mention the lack of concentration, having that "zoned out" feeling during the day and my short term memory practically disappearing. I think I have posted before about reading about several suing the Paxil manufacturers for claiming it isn't addictive and you should be able to just stop taking it. Well, I should never have just stopped all at once. I wouldn't be suprised if your body is going through some sort of withdrawal.
