About 15 years ago I had issues with anxiety at work, so I went to the Dr and he prescribed me xanax and paxil. Started talking then and felt pretty good for a couple days, then the anxiety came back. Dr wanted to increase the dose, but I dumped the pills in the trash instead. I realized that I can control the anxiety with my mind and haven’t had a problem since. Unfortunately, after only two weeks on these drugs, coming off was awful. Flu-like symptoms and very frequent sensations of electric shocks throughout my body that lasted for probably a month. That’s when I began to question doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

Wow, I've never heard of shocks from Paxil. Sorry you went through that! Hope all is well now.
