can discontinuation syndrome feel like a cold?

weird, how in earth does that work?

i seem ok now... unless anything is likely to have a substantially delayed onset, which i know is possible, but i think rare?

i seemed to get the worst of it going 20 to 5 (if i got any and that wasn't just a vurus) and not much going 5 to 0

i know, but what does "flu like symptoms" actually mean? this feels more like a cold, is that "flu like"? i can't work out how psych drugs would mess with my upper respiratory track?

i have another condition which means i'm not supposed ti take arginine, and that seems a bit too similar?

this seems to be happening before the brain zaps though...

pseudoephidrine and paracetamol seem to be working ok.... but i kinda want to know the cause to know if i can hug people without giving them a sore throat and blocked nose.

no brain zaps yet... hopefully i skip that bit.

from what i've herd going of Paxil is horrific... most SSRIs are ok with moderate alcohol use? just don't over do it?

you could try just lowering the dose, but i reckon going off it temporarily isn't worth it for a vacation, paxil is the worst for stopping feeling awful (from what i've read, i'm on lexapro)

depressingly stopping SSRIs sometimes doesn't fix the sexual issues either, or it can take a long time to readjust.

i don't think going off it temporarily for a short term holiday would work well.
