Souzan, if you're trying, and failing to come completely off the Paxil you could try what I did. I went down by 5mg a month until I got down to 5mg a day. I just couldn't get completely off from there though so I bought liquid Paxil and a calibrated dropper and went down by 1mg a month.

I still got the sea sickness and electric zaps every time I went down a dose but not as bad as trying to come straight off. I tell you the day I cleaned it right out of my system was a big day. I was pretty volatile for a while but about six months after that I was sitting on a wall with my husband and started laughing at a joke and he looked at me and said 'my goodness, I've got you back'

It was a very moving moment and made me realise how the drugs had taken away my true personality for several years.

and then I was able to start shifting that weight - I've still got around five pounds left. Those are the pounds I'm here for...
