I am stopping my paxil (paroxetine) and ability because the weight gain is making me more depressed. what will just stopping these meds do?

Discontinuation Sx.: If you stop these medications suddenly, you risk relapse of symptoms. Also you risk discontinuation symptoms common with ssri's like paxil: muscle aches like getting the flu; anxiety; light-headedness; headache; fatigue; electric shock-like sensations; nausea; vomiting; insomnia; frightening dreams, etc. This may last longer than a few weeks. Please talk with your doctor before making any changes.
