I am in my forties but if I don't take the Paxil for a day or two they go away.

Cog- I've tried Paxil twice - both times bad hot flashes and sweats - I'm 52 but I fairly sure it wasn't hormonal and that it was the paxil. In the winter it wasn't so bad, come spring the hot flashes became unbareable, switched to celexa.
Good luck - Kate

Do not take anybody's advice on what to do - Just for the record when I got weaned off Paxil I had absolutely no side effects - everyone is different!!! Talk to Doc 1st!!!

It's a sign that your serotonin levels are too
high. You need a lower dose of Paxil.
