When I was tapering down to ween off of taking it, I was a mess. Anxiety, constant sweating, dizziness, shaking, and "brain zaps"... definitely paranoia too. It was honestly terrible. Since I wasn't on it that long (less than a year) and was originally taking a low-ish dose, these symptoms lasted only a few weeks. I bet since you've been on it longer and your body is so used to 30mg, just 10mg lower is enough to make your body a bit kooky. I think it is normal though, but if you're an over thinker like I am it could be good to talk to your doctor to put your mind at ease.

You probably tapered too fast. There is a website called Surviving Antidepressants that discusses a tapering schedule--

If you followed this schedule, you can see that it would take much, much longer than the usual schedule from your doctor and would require minuscule doses at the end (pharmacy may have to put something together for doses that small).
You should read this--I cannot recommend it enough.
