@ParoxetinaHow are you doing? i'm currently also suffering from longtime Paxil withdrawl symptoms, started 11/2019 after just a tiny drop but had a bad combination with painkiller Diclofenac. After that couldn't resist caffein and several other foods and drinks anymore, would immediately cause enhanced withdrawl. Perhaps i've experienced some windows and waves over the last year. Don't know.

Heartbeat is also very high since several weeks and not steady. Have adjusted running pace. Recognize the worries but try not to, cause worring, stress etc. isn't helpful at recovery. Can recommend magnesium and omega 3 fishoil for relieve during withdrawl.

 

Am also thinking more and more about switching, cause this road is almost impossible and will take >10 years.

 

Bye bye
