Hello. I am new here, and I am researching all things about Paxil. I am a cancer survivor and after my 4th diagnoses with breast cancer, I became "depressed". It came in the form of anxiousness, so onc put me on Paxil. I didn't bother to really read the label and yesterday, after about 2 mos on Paxil, I had a couple of coolers in my backyard, while sitting in the sun. I apparently had a phone conversation with my daughter long distance, and my son and other daughter ( both young teens) were with me and also my hubby and we were all chatting in the backyard. I DON'T RECALL ANY OF IT. I DON'T RECALL LAYING DOWN AND FALLING INTO A DEEP SLEEP FOR 3 HOURS EITHER! HECK...I am only a social drinker, like once or twice every couple of weeks, and I was TOAST! I woke up hungover and felt like I had been hit by a truck! I want to go off Paxil now that I have experienced this, but scared to go off it, and TERRIFIED to have even ONE drink.
Has anyone ever experienced such a severe side-effect before????
Thanks for any and all advice.
Newbie ( NotME!)
