Does Stoping Paxil Intake Cause Disturbed Sleep?
Not Doctor has not refill my Paxil meds in like 3 weeks. And these past day days I get even sleep, just feel like there s weird things happening when I fall asleep. Keep trying to contact his office and they just send me to a voice answering service and never even bother contacting me back

Hello and welcome.
Sudden discontinuing of paxil can cause withdrawal symptoms including anxiety and sleep disturbances. I would recommend you to change your doctor if possible and visit a more responsible one.
The approach your current doctor is using is wrong. If he/she chose to wean you off the drug (if that was his/her plan), going cold turkey may not have been the best option.
Best wishes.
