Buzzing... Med withdrawl??

THe last couple days I have been buzzing or humming in my head. I feel like my senses are heightened, Very sensetive to noise and constantly think I see stuff in my perifreial vision. I also have been anxious and irritable. I am weening off of paxal and trying to cease it totally now. I was only on a low dosage 20mg daily then to 10 then done.
Just curious if it is the med withdrawl which I am hoping or is this some weird phase within cycling that I haven't noticed in the past?? Just curious on thoughts.
Thanks
Feeling very disconnected

You are right one suspecting it's Paxil withdrawal, the symptoms you describe are classic, however I am not allowed to diagnose so please consult your mental health provider as soon as possible. They may prescribe Klonopin (a long-acting benzodiazepine) to help you through this.
