Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I could be due to withdrawal of paxil. Paxil contains paroxetine and withdrawal symptoms are very common with paroxetine. In that case, there is nothing to worry. Just take your drug on time and daily, it could improve. In case, you feel weakness or anxiety symptoms, you can take benzodiazepine on sos basis. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
