I am not a doctor, but if you were on it for only 2 days then it wouldnt be a problem stopping.Paxil becomes a problem when it has been taken for an extended period,as withdrawals can be horrendous when you want to come off it.Consult your doctor about a more suitable medication.Seems the paxil adversely affected you.After only 2 days the drug has not had time to accumulate in you body.Keep in mind however that many of these drugs can have these sideffects initially, and subside as the drug accumulates in your body,usually about 2-4 weeks.Hope u get suitable treatment for your condition.Best of luck.

hes right a average dependancy for paxil is about 3weeks i took it for 2weeks awhile back didnt like it stopd cold turkey without any problems. good luck keep us posted and were here if u need help.
Thanks, thats good to know :)
The votes seem to favor you stopping the Paxil could turkey. BUT, as I'm sure any who have reported their own experience will tell you, that's just their experience and opinion. At the very least, leave a message with your doc telling him/her that you're stopping the Paxil. Sudden ingestion and withdrawal of anything can pose problems of its own. And then get a decent consult to figure out what a better treatment course may be. Hang in!
I stopped it after 3 days, but they immediately put me on BuSpar.
I have been on Xanax (2mg for approx 18 mos) and my Dr. prescribed Paxil to help me wean off the Xanax. Well, I researched on the net the effects of Paxil, and decided on my own not to take it. It cost over $40 (should have researched BEFORE I went to the pharamcy) for a 30 day supply. Well, I'm still trying to detox myself from Xanax by lowering the dosage. After this drug is out of my body, I plan to cure my anxiety through prayer and breathing exerices. I'm also seeing a phschotheripist once a week. I suggest you call your local Drug store or Dr. and ask about stopping the Paxil. I am in no position to give advice. I can't even solve my own problem. Good luck and God bless you.
well i have been takin paxil for 3 days. Hate it. I feel high. I threw my pills in the toliet because i didnt like the way i was feeling. Will i have ne side effects? How long does it take for the drug to get out of my system? im scared
Hi I'm not sure how old this post is but I'm experiencing the same thing. I was prescribed paxil back in high school and I didn't take it for a long time but recently I've been feeling horrible and my anxiety is through the roof. I decided to take one to see if it would help and it seemed to help the first day, but the 2nd day I didn't sleep at all and I felt like I was high and wired. Ive read about seratonine sydrome so I'm not sure if I should keep trying to take it or not.
