28th Paxil Update - Feeling Good
August 14, 2026··
taper update
Feeling good. Been having bouts of fatigue. Weird chest pain again, I have had a cardiac stress test and it's normal. It's Weird because I'm noticing a pattern that it shows up every 2 weeks almost like clockwork. I googled this with AI and it said that it stems from paxil withdrawal. I really can't wait to be off of this stuff!!

I'm glad you got your heart checked out and were reassured that your symptoms are related to the Paxil withdrawal. It's crazy what these drugs can do to us! We look forward to when you can be free of it too. 💝
