weird things that I don't know are paxil related

mickey65 · 06-10-2005, 07:05 PM

I have 2 unusual things going on. One seemed to start when I started Paxil and is still going on. I have had a very sore throat and it hurts my ear to swallow. doc has checked my throat and ears and says everything is 'normal'...well it sure does not feel normal! Has anyone had this swallowing problem?

The second one just started. I keep smelling a weird kind of smell..almost like bad meat or something. I have searched high and low to find it, but it seems to b anywhere I go. Am I just weird, or has someone else had a withdrawal effect like this?

TIA!

I'd get a second opinion if I were you. Sore throat, ear pain, bad smell??? I'd see an ear/nose/throat doc if I were you. Could be a plugged sinus or something like that. Those areas are so connected. Best of luck and let us know how it goes!

Mickey65,

When I was in w/d I had all that going on. I have heard of many others too.

Second one sounds like a sinus infection or sinuses draining. I had this when I was detoxing off Paxil, and still do sometimes.
