Hi all,
I'm new to this community and I don't know where else to turn to.
I was on Paxil (30mg) for over a year mostly for anxiety and secondary for depression.
It worked for a little bit (first 6 months or so) then just became the norm and didn't do much for me at all but make me feel numb and uninterested in things.
2-3 weeks ago I decided to stop taking it completely (I know...cold turkey is bad) and the first week was a little alright, just felt like I was tunnel visioned big time and didn't know what was going on around me at all and I'd get emotional mood swings. Then came the 2nd/3rd week I don't have the tunnel vision anymore (as of late anyways), but I started getting really bad stomach aches/cramps and rarely an appetite for food at all. I always wake up in the morning everyday since then with a stomach ache and a little bit of nausea along with shivers and just feeling plainly cold.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do or take to get my appetite back and stop the cramps/nausea from happening every morning/into the afternoon.
I'd ask my doctor but she doesn't really understand this I believe and it's really hard to contact her and takes forever to see her as it is....
any help would be appreciated, thanks

Edit: actually debating to get back on it just to stop this crap but I really dont want to...go back.
