I have been on paxil cr for a year now for
anxiety. I stopped taking it about a
week ago due to not having the money for
it. I am absolutylu miserable now. I
feel like my brain has gone crazy and I
feel extremely nauseous. Does anyone
know how long this feeling will last

You should slowly wean yourself off of a
medication like paxil-you will be
miserable if you just stop taking it.
Even if you have to buy a few tablets at a
time from the pharmacy,then take 1 every
other day for a few days,then every 3rd
day and so on. Goodluck.

Yeah you can get as few as you want, i'm a
pharmacy technician and people do that all
the time, because the cost of medicine is
so high.
Also you said you were on paxil cr, if
your doctor would change your script to
paxil, you could fill it with a generic
and it would be even cheaper. The paxil
cr is not available in generic,but is
pretty much the same as the plain
paxil,the cr is an extended release,but
really it just allows the company to keep
their patent a little longer and make a
few more dollars. Hope this helps. Get
healthy.
