Can’t Get Off Paxil

Antidepressants

“This should never been released until all tests were in.”

I have been on Paxil for about two years now and cannot stop this medication. The few times I did try to come off of it I got really sick. With in a day, I get light headed, nauseous, chill and heat flashes, and feel like crap. This is there for a day or two then I feel okay again for a while. Last month the pharmacy gave me the generic for the name brand, several days after starting the generic, it all started again, being sick.

I was told this was not addictive. Well I think that is wrong.

This should never been released until all tests were in.

thank you
