well, i suppose i had it coming to me..after laughing so heartily in depressions face...
I have been paxil free for almost a week..maybe it has been a week. I am having horrible lucid dreams, and i awake with dread and fear of sleeping again.
I have been sobbing for ever, it feels like I am tapping a pain and rage I have been disconnected from for a long time. I have thought about suicide recently, but know that it is the withdrawl talking...
I can only say the pain is tangible..I ache in the center of my soul and I feel like a rag doll in jaws of a hateful beast.:(
send me healing please, I need it.

You got it, babe. Feel it comin' atcha? I'm sending my "psychic arms" out to hold you and that sensation on your head is my virtual hand stroking your hair. Do you feel the warmth from my heart holding you close?

You'll be well, my dear. It will feel better soon.

Jenny, if you did not leave something out, my question would be, "Why did you just stop the Paxil? Are you withdrawing under a doctor's care?"
Sometimes, switching to Prozac and coming off it is less difficult. There must be other techniques as well. Do do something!
Racer, you seem to have my problem (one of them): No money. Scout out government agencies; I'm getting meds and therapy thru my county as a member of the 'working poor'. It should be emphasized that there are some very competent people involved in these programs.

Jenny-

Please see my post to you on "Evolving Baby" (under Nicole instead of Erin, I generally write under the name Erin though :) ). - remember that you have just taken a major chemical out of your system and it will take a while for it to readjust. I also have the unpleasant Paxil cessation dreams - I just try to keep it in the perspective that my dreams do not define who I am.

I know that depression has a way of crowding out the more optomistic thoughts and thoughts beyond the immediate future, just try to keep in mind that today is not forever and that there is hope.

Give yourself a break, give yourself a hug, and try to think of the things you love in the world (make yourself a picture collage of your favorite things and put it up on the wall where you can see it)-

Hang in there, we're rooting for you!

Erin

doesn't sound like withdrawl...
