Why such feelings? Hi Epphe and welcome to SA. How long had you taken it before stopping? To begin, please help us out by creating a "drug signature" here: https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/18343-please-put-your-withdrawal-history-in-your-signature/ These drugs are very potent. The nightmares and concentration issues were withdrawal. Here is more information: https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/603-what-is-withdrawal-syndrome/ Are you wanting to come off of it? If so, this site can help with that. Current: 2019: 0.04 mg Paxil!! This is real. Soon, after taking Paxil my entire adult life, I will be free. Long story short: After 18 years on Paxil, "tapered" almost completely off over a month, at doctor's advice in July 2015. Self-care includes magnesium, reasonable exercise, mindfulness, this forum and nutrition/eating enough food. Also on 100 mg Zoloft unfortunately!! (which I now will have the knowledge to taper properly) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Longer version: On Paxil since 1996--anxiety & depression caused by (undiagnosed) under-eating / eating disorder. Doctor kept increasing dose, up to 60 mg; it never really helped but said it really was the best "med" for me. Rapid doctor-led "taper" July 2015, down to 5 mg, with Zoloft as a "cross-taper" = Essentially a cold turkey. Severe withdrawal but didn't know it; believed it was my "underlying condition," and kept tapering, 5mg to 4 to 3 to 2 to 1. Feb 2016: Found SA! As of June 2016, tapering from 1mg at rate of 5-10% per month, Brassmonkey Slide! Link to comment
