What Causes Anxiety And Hot Flashes While On Paxil?
I recently weaned myself off of Paxil under my doctors supervision. I recently found that I needed to go back on and have just done so again under my doctors supervision. I am on 10mg per day. It s only been a few days but I have been feeling anxious and have had hot flashes. Is this normal. Thanks Laura

Hello,
Possible that you may be suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
Other possibilities like post-menopausal syndrome.
Paxil itself may not cause unless you developed an allergy to the above drug.
Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
