bye bye paxil

I stopped Paxil two days ago. My doctor switched me to Prozac to help with the discontinuation syndromes as I can't fucking stand those zaps and didn't want to start crying one day over not being able to choose the right staple size for the heavy duty stapler.

He said that the discontinuation symptoms would be mild (comparatively) than just going cold turkey from 5 mg of Paxil. For some reason I was under the impression that the discontinuation syndromes would occur after I stopped Prozac, but alas such is not the case. This morning I grew upset at my closet because all of my man-tailored shirts are like billowing sheets in the wind on me now that I've lost all that weight. My mom helped me find a nice sweater seat to wear instead as I held the large piece of cloth in my hands.

Anyway, I know it's not going to be a walk in the park and I get....frustrated because I hate going through the withdrawal and just want it to be over.
