Paxil Antidepressant Review

I began taking Paxil primarily for my migraines. My PCP prescribed me 10 mg/day for migraine prevention. It has helped tremendously for that, but once I was on it I realized it was helping with my daily anxiety and depression as well. My psychiatrist upped my dosage to 20 mg/day once we realized the effects were better.

The drawback is that the withdrawal is awful; after just a couple days off you begin shaking, get very dizzy, and have panic attacks. WHen I became pregnant I had to wean myself first by switching to Prozac which was less harmful to the baby, and then slowly cutting off from that. It is possible, but hard.
