I quit Paxil over a year ago because after 6 years on it, I was getting some scary side-effects. But now I find I have really horrible stomach issues. The slightest anxiety causes me to run to the bathroom. I'm working hard to overcome the anxiety and nerves without drugs. I also learned that serotonin has a big effect on the colon, so my issue makes sense. Any opinions? Experiences?

it's called withdrawl.
keep detoxing.....don't let them think for a minute they can help you with more antidepressants.
seek the advice of a specialist concerning viral infections of some sort...they do pass the blood brain barrier, thus, causes depression.
good luck.
ps. drinking more water will help the sides.

I had bad side effects as I was going off of Paxil, but nothing permanent. I quit cold-turkey so felt half-crazy for a couple of days. It was kinda scary. It sounds like you need anti-anxiety meds. I don't think the Paxil would do that to you a year later. It sounds like something else.

try a non prescrition. i take 10 mgs of 5 htp and it helps and leaves you feeling pretty normal. i also learned to avoid anxiety causing situations. i usually go shopping and errand running when there is the lest traffic and the least amount of people in stores. remember you are also in charge. if it looks like too many people are in a store don't go in or walk right back out.
