I have taken Paxil for 9 years and off for 8 days, How much longer am I going to be so dizzy and light headed?

Question

I just slept too much with Paxil and it was like not working as it once did. So my doctor is trying me on Wellbutrin xl. I just want to know how long these side paxil withdrawals are going to last.

Answer 1

It depends on your physiology. Sometimes it can take a very long time for people to be weaned off of medication, or sometimes it can take a couple of weeks.

However, bear in mind that you have been on the meds for 9 years, and be glad that the Paxil withdrawal symptoms aren't having more of an effect on you.

If I can remember correctly, they cause brain zaps (?) and hot flashes.

Paxil is a horrible drug, and worse is that GlaxoSmithKline marketed it as a drug without any habits.

Anyway, good luck, and remember to stay active and always interested in something

Answer 2

about 3 months, i think. please, be patient.
