Hi Albert.

I came off the paroxetine three weeks ago (had been on 10mg for many years), then was put on Sertraline for about a week, then instead was put on Mirtazapine - which I have been taking for ten days. The GP swapped them over without advising me to come off the paroxetine gradually. I know in the past if I missed a dose, my head would have very similar whooshing, though not on this terrifying scale.
I'm lying in bed now and can feel the impending nightmare building up if I go into a deep sleep. The GP told me today to take the Mirtazapine in the morning instead if nighttime for the time being.
Hooefully your hunch is right, that the paroxetine is behind these unpleasant side effects.
Dreading the night ahead.
But need to go easy on myself in order to get better.

Thanks for your help
