I once tried to quit cold turkey and on top of the common dizziness and shock-like sensations on the back of my head, I got sore, knotted muscles, a full body rash, horrible nightmares, anxiety, memory problems, a disconnected feeling, crippling
depression/crying
and diarreah. It took me over 3 years to get from 30mg to 15mg/day and I had to wean off it one miligram at the time. If you do a YouTube search for "Paxil Addiction" you will see the interview I did on ABC Primetime Live.
