Paxhell

My journey into awareness started in Pax-hell - purgatory for Paxil users. In May 2004, I learned the most horrible lesson of my life: never quit an SSRI cold turkey. Better yet, if you haven't taken antidepressants/anti-anxiety or SSRI's then don't. I have God and paxilprogress.org to thank for my recovery. Some day I hope to write about my journey, until then maybe a glimpse into the silence that led me to become awake.

Comments:
Oh I hear you. It took me exactly 16 very painful days to get off cold-turkey. The 6th and 7th days were the worst. I prayed to God to either help me overcome it or to die. I experienced it all. I won't go into details. But hey, I'm over it. It wasn't easy but I beat a 10 year Pax-hell habit. WooHoo!
