Paxil CR…How Do I Go Off of It?

Question by Kristina: Paxil CR…How do I go off of it?
I have been on Paxil CR for about a year. I recently missed a dose, it was the worst feeling that you could imagine. I felt like a drug addict. I couldn’t stop throwing up, I was dizzy, sweating, shivering. HORRIBLE! After this happened I realized I can’t live like this, completely dependent on Paxil. I can’t be scared to miss a dose. I want to be off of it. My doctor isn’t exactly the best doctor in the world and don’t want to ask for her help, she is quite strange! haha. So I would like to know how I should take myself off of it? Help! Please!

Is Drug Addiction the Same as Being Mentally Addicted?

Question by drainsight: is drug addiction the same as being mentally addicted?
hard drugs like cocaine and heroin the same as being mentally addicted to things like gambling or video games or is it a different feeling?

Best answer:

Answer by ktartist123
Yes. It activates similar pleasure parts of the brain, though hard drugs do cause physical withdrawal symptoms. Certain people have “addictive” personalities and are more likely to become addicted to certain activities, such as gambling and video games. If someone suspects they’re addicted to anything, they should seek counseling – a doctor can refer anyone to the appropriate therapist, etc.
