I quit the medicine cold turkey once and got terrible withdrawal, which included extreme dizziness, fever-like symptoms, and extreme depressions. I switched to fluoxetine (Prozac), which has a significantly longer life in your body, and the dizziness is almost negligible. If you are having dizziness issues with paroxetine, switching to another medication will help.

I have been taking this medication for many years and have had the dosage increased but it is no longer working; I am now having anxiety episodes as well.

This medicine works great for me...however, is it unethical if your doctor's office refuses to refill it simply because you owe a small bill? I am now currently suffering from symptoms related to having to stop this drug, and it is interfering drastically with my life! Any advice?

I don't feel any better I feel worse with this medication, the doctor says I need to use it the rest of my life...Duh? I need another antidepressant not Paxil on 10 MG.
