Has anyone taken Paxil for a while and then stopped taking it?

I stopped taking Paxil two days ago. I wasn't expecting anything bad, since I planned it in advance and progressively diminished my dayly dose, but reading the comments on your post makes me nervous. <_<

I didn't have any bad reactions but lately it's been a little weird. I feel a little off kilter emotionally, a little flat. And these headaches. I rarely get them but now, a lot!
I took it for anxiety attacks. So far I haven't had any attacks, knock wood-grained laminate!

If you've done a taper off, you should be fine. It's stopping it cold turkey that causes the psychosis. Unfortunately, when I stopped, I was stupid and impatient and just went off it, splat. And was absolutely horrifically miserable for about four days.

Thanks, I feel a lot less nervous now. :)
