I still have nausea on occasion and sometimes the only thing that will knock it out is Zofran which is a prescription medication. Ginger is supposed to be a good anti nausea supplement and licorice, slippery elm sometimes works. I have taken DGL Plus a lot to help with my gastritis but when it is severe, only Zofran will get rid of it.

Since many of us seem to have pain in the same general region -- both docs and the PT that I've seen about my back have all stressed that "computer posture" really affects the low back. I don't know about you guys, but I know that I slouch at the computer and don't always take a break to stand up and stretch/move around every hour like I'm supposed to. My posture sucks even after my employer spent the $$...

1. In my case, it was thinning 2. There's no rule. My hair would get thinner, then for some months there would be some improvement and then again it would get worse 3. receding-yes, and also the top of the scalp 4. If it wasn't genetically conditioned (in which case the use of Paxil only accelerates the whole process of losing hair), there's a great chance it will grow back (at least it's what happened in my case) 5. People...

Ryan(14 at the time) had significant generalized hair loss on paxil. It corrected once he was off paxil.

I suppose better safe than sorry, eh? I am sure the whole experience was pretty stressful - glad it all worked out..... I think I read somewhere that muscles 'have memory", ie, the body can get used to a 'clenching' behavior which can take time and persistence to work through....constant tension can do this to us...and what can create more tension than w/d?

Anastasio, I don't have an explanation for it, but I have those electical zaps like the ones you describe -- they seem to be on the scalp, rather than inside the head like the ones I had when I first quit lexapro. Fortunately mine are not accompanied by headaches. I had headaches early in withdrawal but now they are rare.
