Suggest Remedy For Puffy Eyes

Hello.

I have a left eyelid that is noticeably more "puffy" then my right. I have had this for a few days. I officially stopped taking Paxil about a week ago and have had headaches, dizzines, etc. I am finally FEELING better but still have this eyelid that looks almost as if it is droopy or there is extra skin on it. What could this be? My right eye is fine.
