I have just got off of Paxil and have major withdrawls (dizziness, nausea, etc) and was just wondering how long do the withdrawls last for. I was only on Paxil for 2 months and at a relatively low dosage and cant believe that i am having all these withdrawls

I need a little bit more info about paxil and the other drugs you're on.... I was on 80 mg of paxil for 2 months, they cold turkey took me off it, now i'm on 150 of effexor. thats not counting all the other drugs i'm on.
you can't cold turkey off of an anxiety/depression drug without going on another one. you WILL have bad bad withdrawls. i'm surprised you didn't taper off. if you still have some pills left (i really hope you do)... not sure what dosage you're at... cut a pill in half, crush it up in half, put it in juice and stir. drink the juice completely. should give you some relief. do this for 1 week. cut down to 1/4th of a pill then just quit. 3.5 + 2.8 pills so roughly 7 pills to taper off (math might be off, i'm sick and can't think clearly)

I can't tell you how long paxil withdrawls last for... but prozac withdrawls lasted for almost two months, i was cranky as hell, dizzy, having nausea (i was stupid with that one, until i complained to my doc and she told me to taper off in the way i just described, then symptoms went right away)
