I was on paroxetine SSRI for 18 months, but when I want to stop the medicine I face a lot of withdrawal symptoms like brain zaps and low energy and depersonalization and derealization and brain fog. But the very problem was when I stop this medicine I face anxiety with the withdrawal symptoms like derealization and depersonalization, but that fear I can't stop. So finally I get to taper it by myself. I am going through a lot of withdrawal symptoms this time, but facing it to get out of this medicine.
