Watch out man; Paxil has some pretty sh***y withdrawal effects. Be prepared for a stormy ride.

Personally, I've experienced these withdrawal effects:
- intense insomnia
- intense fear of losing your sanity
- panic attacks (even if you never had one before)
- severe mood swings, esp. heightened irritability / anger
- suicidal thoughts (in extreme cases)
- the feeling of shocks, similar to mild electric one, running the length of your body (a.k.a. "the zaps")
I was a veritable maniac during withdrawal (er, more so than I normally am, I mean); I completely lost touch for a bit, and I very nearly shot myself; and the zaps just plain suck. If you're lucky, you'll just feel like s**t for a few days; I hope you're lucky.
Good fortune,
- Icarus kept the shell casing as a reminder of those times...
