28th Paxil Update - Feeling Good

August 14, 2026··

Posted in:Paxil (Paroxetine)Success Stories

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!!
