Last Sunday, my last 5 paxil pills ended in the toilet… and with that action I started a new journey, which I want to call ” Paxil Free, The Withdrawals effect”
After 3 days of no paxil, I am starting to feel some withdrawal symptoms. This morning during breakfast I was thinking ” looks like I not going to have that many problems after all..” but, during the afternoon I started to feel a weird sensation in the back of my head… inside of my head… is right at the back of my brain. I really do not know how to explain it, what I know is not a headache, it’s not a migraine; it could be like the feeling you get when you eat something really cold. The sensation is just at the back, only at the back of my head. It is not in my neck.
I’m also having some nausea and vertigo. The vertigo is not a good thing to have, specially if you work at the 20th floor…. :-S
Also, I’m feeling really tired all the time.
The only advise I can give to myself is: take it easy, just handle one day at the time, rest honey… you need your rest.
the past is always there to hunt you, doesn’t matter what you do.
A year ago, I was kick out from my parents house due to a rebellious act. I remembered that day having a migraine and calling my parents to pick me up at work because I was feeling really bad. My work at the time was locate a 1 hour by car from my parents house; 2 hours by bus…
They picked my up and drove back home… at the way home, they were talking about my life, and that I should reconsider going back to the USA and finish my college. I was making a bad decision by staying in Panama. they also comment about my behavior and if I didn’t want to go back to USA I should then call the director and let him know about it.
My head still hurts, the way home is getting a little bit longer that usual, I want to go to sleep and wait for the pain to go away…

At the moment I’m taking 5 mg every two days, and next Sunday is the final day; I’m suppose to stop taking Paxil next Sunday.
After 3 month I’m finally at the end of this journey, and I must say, it was not easy. There were times I wanted to go back to the beginning due to the side effects. But the support of my boyfriend have been a great help. I manage to stick to the plan and I kept lowering the dose and now, I’m just one week away from being free!
during the last month I had very few side effect, which was surprising., the only side effects I had was: weakness, dry mouth, and some anxiety attacks. But the funny thing is , I started to feel those side effects two weeks ago… weird… anyways, I know I might feel those side effect weeks after finishing taking Paxil, but that is completely normal.
After trying so many times, I hope, this week is the last week on Paxil 
I’m taking at the moment 5 mg every day. Until now the only side effect I’m having is dizziness and anxiety attacks, yesterday I had one; but it was not as bad as the first one I had at work on Wednesday.
For the dizziness I’m taking some pills that are for common dizziness and nausea, (I’m also having some nausea). and they help with the dizziness.
