I am now 40 months off Paxil (Cold turkey in may 2008).After having passed through hell like all of us, a few months ago I could believe that I had at least 90°/° recovered.My only long-lasting symptome was fibromyalgie .I had two sessions of acupuncture which were very helpful.Unhappily the third one did not bring me any more help.I have huge anxiety which has come back, pain in my whole body, lack of interest, very hard to stay alone without falling into deep sadness. My 22 years old son has started a new job this morning (He has stayed at home for several months) and it is probably the explanation of the symptomes resurgence.
I was a very active and independant person before my withdrawal and now I am living like a 100 years-old one (Or like a little child).I feel ashamed of myself, I have changed, I am no more the same person.
Nevertheless I try to remain positive and confident. I find a lot of support among you.
