I took Paxil for five years and then went off it cold turkey.
Which was, looking back, incredibly stupid of me. I had a miserable four days during which I was irritable, got brain zapped constantly and just nauseated all the time. Then I was fine, but man - there has to be a better way to get off that stuff. Effexor, by the way, is ten times worse, even if you step-down to get off.
yeah. I've been taking it for three years. I just wanted to be sure that no reactions would suddenly smack me in the brain. I'm having minimal reaction so far.
