Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hey everyone, I haven't been here in a long time. But I'm coming off paxil and wondering about symptoms you may have had during withdrawal. My muscles are weak and achy. Climbing the stairs is hard. My arms hurt after folding laundry, and it seems to be getting worse not better. I've been down to 30 mg from 40 for 2 weeks. Fatigue has also been bad, but I expected that.
The thing with the muscle weakness is that I have had dermatomyositis (DM), and auto-immune condition that can flare up again. My muscles feel just like they did then. So I'm trying to sort out which it is. On the one hand the bloodwork for DM came back negative but I haven't been able to talk to the doc yet about whether that's conclusive, and on the other it's been two weeks withdrawing and things are getting worse not better.
Have you experienced this coming off paxil?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

Anxiety reaction will move all the liquid to the area, and then when it is done, the liquid slowly returns elsewhere. The problem is that most of the anxiety has used some of the liquid in deflecting the danger signal. What this does naturally, is dehydrate, which some people are sensitive to, and so drinking or eating something liquid will you learn the symptoms of anxiety release.
Best wishes!
