Challenging withdrawals

Need to vent. I’m cranky from withdrawals and need to let off some steam. I’m getting progressively more upset and mad my doctor told me to just quit this medication cold turkey with no forewarning. I was on Paxil for 2 months. Granted, I also didn’t think I would go into withdrawals this much.

I’m getting brain zaps nearly constantly. I can’t move around without feeling dizzy. Headaches. Getting cranky and depressed from how unpleasant this all is. I had to call out from work. This is challenging!! When I first started feeling the brain zaps, I thought not that bad. No, it gets bad because it’s CONSTANT, your head starts to hurt, and you don’t get a break. You literally have to stay in bed and not move.

WHY don’t doctors take tapering off seriously?? Seriously no warning whatsoever? What a joke.
