> I have been back on 20 mg. paxil for three days after trying wellbutrin for 10 days. I am starting to feel better already. Has anyone else experienced withdrawl from paxil. I am just gald I was able to get back on it and start to feel better. I had a loss of appetite, chills, sweats, anorexic feelings and extreme panic attacks. Has anyone else experienced this, then gone back to paxil?
I had a completely different experience. I had REM sleep disturbances for the 6 weeks I took Paxil which, in effect, was like having ADD really bad. I went off Paxil cold turkey and onto Wellbutrin and experienced hypomania, which was so fun that I snapped out of my depression pretty quickly. I stayed on Wellbutrin for a year after that. At the time I thought the Wellbutrin helped me, but in retrospect, going off of Paxil helped me the most.
Our personal biochemistries are so different. I'm sorry my post isn't very helpful to you, but I am just posting this in case any one else who had the same reaction I did finds this thread on a search.
