Paxil Antidepressant Review

Doctor gave me Paxil for severe anxiety, mild OCD, chronic/episodic depression, and ongoing extreme rage. I took 20 mg per day alongside 5mg of Buspar every morning, and .25 mg clonopin as needed. At first it worked great... the rage and fear were practically gone and I felt good aside from having zero libido whatsoever. However, it wasn't long before I started feeling flush and out of breath as well as experiencing a needlessly racing heartbeat around the same time every night (roughly 12 hours after my daily dose in the morning). The doc said this was withdrawal and her answer was to take another pill at night, making 30 mg daily total. Looking back, I see how illogical this was.... if someone is having withdrawal from the minimum dose, why would you RAISE the dose?! After a few weeks on the new dosage, the Paxil stopped working altogether. So now I was angry and fearful again, always anxious, could never turn my brain off, and was back to taking the clonopins more often in a day to ease my nerves. My sex drive came back somewhat, but so much damage had been done to my relationship from the few months without sex that this issue was a mess unto itself with or without medication. Finally I decided to go off of the Paxil, but my doc gave me incorrect information and I ended up suffering what she called the most extreme case of discontinuation syndrome she had witnessed in her career. It was the worst experience of my life and it went on for two weeks before I barged into the doc's office and demanded to be seen lest I end up in the emergency room or worse.... We are talking extreme suicidal thoughts, uncontrollable emotions/crying, paranoia, constant nausea and body pain, inability to eat, weakness, so so so tired, inabilitty to think straight or peerform my job functions, major depression, picking fights with people, reckless driving, sweating so much I had to change my clothes a few times a day and yet freezing at the same time, tremors and twitching, stuttering and forgetting words to the point that communication became nearly impossible... She put me on pexeva (another form of Paxil) to wean myself off over the course of a couple of months. Now my discontinuation syndrome is gone, but I am more anxious and angry than I was BEFORE I ever went on medication, and I still sweat a lot more than I ought to. Bottom line is BEWARE THE PAXIL. IT IS EVIL.
