Up and down

Trying to determine if large mood swings are part of my withdrawl or just another chapter unwinding. I can almost feel euphoric one hour and suicidal the next. It's been a little more than two months now since the last of the paxil. I tried something I read on another site and I guess it worked better than the short lived prior attempts to quit. After the weaning process I used some small doses of Prozac for a couple of weeks followed by antihistamines when I experienced the whooshing and other side effects. I was on Paxil so long that I am not sure how I felt before taking it. I remember having lots of a anxiety. Have also experienced extreme fatique to quite energetic in short time spans. I couldn't keep my eyes open earlier and went to bed. I was awakened by a phone call an hour later and now feel wide awake. It's almost as if I am being turned on and off and my mood shifts up when I feel energized and If I feel tired I hate everything. Most of what I have read here in the past has been directed more towards the physical symptoms. Are these new things just part of a later phase?

Well, most of the people here will tell you, it's the PAXIL where in reality you could benefit from just continuing the paxil to help your anxiety, my research indicates it's not all that great for depression, but it is one hell of an anxiety killer.....Some people simply need drugs to get fixed....Sometimes it takes more than a book, yoga, shrinks, etc. Don't side with alot of people here just because they went thru paxil-hell...It's not like that for everyone. Paxil is not poison....

It's been over month since the doc took me off PaX......

I have periods of tremendous doom and gloom grief type feelings that have made dents in my brow from scowling.

It's been happening quite a bit.

But then all of a sudden it will lift like magic and I'll talk and smile.

I never had this before.

Yes I do beleive Paxil will and does help people.

But I'm not gonna call it the Breakfast of champions.

RIght now....I hate the stuff.....

But like Mr.X said.

Paxil and the Doctors (and Myself) are responsible for some Major hell I'm going through.
