I’m not even sure if this belongs here, but I just need to get this out because I feel absolutely terrible... anyway, I’ve been on Paxil for four years now to deal with panic attacks and anxiety, and I’m finally trying to taper off. For two weeks, I was taking half a pill every day, but now I’ve moved to half a pill every other day. And honestly? It feels awful. Just truly awful.
Lately, my boyfriend left me and I lost my job too... so right now, there isn't really anything in my life to look forward to, everything just kind of fell apart at once. Maybe I was being foolish by deciding to quit the Paxil right now of all times, and now I’m just lost. I have this constant sense of dread and restlessness, and I can't stop crying... I don't even know how to handle myself. I'm terrified that I'm actually losing my mind because this is just so intense. I can't live like this, I really don't know what to do...
