Shannon, From what I've read, withdrawal problems from SSRI's are more common than most people realize. I imagine that it could take a while for your own body chemistry to "even out" after being manipulated by the medicine for three years. How do you feel physically? Are you doing OK POTS-wise off of it? I can't stop taking Paxil, unfortunately. I don't get depressed when I don't take it, I get sick as a dog (tachycardia, neuropathy, nausea, diarrhea, a nearly constant feeling of panic.) Until I find some other miracle way to control my screwed up autonomic nervous system, I'm stuck. Have you talked to your doctor about it? An option might be to restart it, but maybe just half of your biggest dose, then taper down again, REALLY SLOWLY. Like six months for each step downward. You also might try fish oil, which is supposed to support healthy brain function. Believe me, I feel for you! When I had to restart Paxil, I felt like such a failure. I REALLY wanted to get off of it, and I had spent more than a year tapering off. Just remember, if you do need to restart it, there are worse things in the world. Such as feeling really depressed or panicky all the time! Take care, Amy
