paxil withdrawal problems

09-24-2004, 04:41 AM

As well as all the usual withdrawal horrors associated with Paxil ( whooshing, zapping, dizziness, digestive disorders etc) does anyone also have skin changes, that is, normal skin becoming very greasy like mine. I have never had to wash my hair so often and need to wash my face two or three times a day as it is so greasy and shiny and feels disgusting. If I didnt feel bad enough already - it really is the icing on the cake.

Hi penney,
I had a similar experince, but the opposite effect. My skin became sallow and dull looking, same with my hair. no greasyness though.

I"m constantly washing my face, it's crazy.. though i'm not sure if it's drug related or just the fact i'm not a kid anymore.

...on every part of my body including my hands and feet. It was unbelievable on my stomach, arms, back, and legs... and I'd never had skin problems before. That was from cold turkey so I started the taper regimen and remember feeling kind of oily and sweaty all the time. It could have been from all the laying around I did, but I had a lot of break outs so I'm sure it's related to the Paxil Withdrawal.
