I posted one the other day which only a few replied to. I have had a real shitty last few days. I can't take it. I have like this buzzing or humming going on in my head. If I just veg and watch tv or sleep it is not noticable. But doing anything, typing this, or say working out which I struggled through tonight is just a bear. I was only taking 20mg then 10, and then I tried to kinda just quit it cold turkey. Thats when it started and know I tried go back to 10mg again tonight. I guess we will see what tomorrow brings.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Be careful! Don't stop any meds without consulting with your doc first, and if you did talk to your doc, let him/her know about what's going on.
Best of luck!
Use a pill cutter if you have one, if not buy one. Then take the smaller dose for a week or two before you shrink it somemore.
Your Pdoc is behind you on this isn't he/she/it?
You guys know life with all this crap is hard enough with out taking the Dr's job in my own hand and feeling like this.
I've had the evil 'brain zaps' which can be alarming, not to mention horribly uncomfortable. In addition, withdrawal from SSRIs can cause a feeling of 'unreality'... all of these are symptoms many patients describe... but doctors don't seem to be familiar with these strange symptoms, for some reason.
Best of luck to you...
I was ok for about a week.Ended up in ER anyway.Paxil is not a med to mess with.Did you do this taper under Pdoc advisement ,or on your own.
I experienced the buzzing sound also...Tinitus(ringing in the ears)is a pretty common withdrawl symtom.
I'd be checking in with your Pdoc just to be safe.
