Re: Discontinuation or Not?
I had exactly the same symptoms you describe when I came off paroxetine after 7 years. The odd sensations and generally shit feeling you're getting are classic discontinuation symptoms. They might attenuate over time but it's notoriously difficult to predict unfortunately. I ended up back on another SSRI (sertraline).
It's a decision you need to weigh up and consider: I fully appreciate your sentiments regarding going back on it, and the long-term consequences, but my philosophy is that if they're helping to maintain my wellbeing then bugger it - I'd rather take meds for the rest of my life rather than feel as though I'm in the depths of a black hole.
