I’ve been up for an hour. (That’s 4AM if you don’t want to do the math.) I’m really, really tired, but my stomach is a bit iffy. I’ve been surfing a bit, waiting for it to calm down, wondering if it’s the wine or the paxil withdrawal, or maybe a combination. Thank goodness I can lie down for a nap in a little while. It might end up being one of those really long ones.

I got more doom and gloom responses on the Paxil withdrawal site. I’m really not having as hard a time of it as I could, I think. I drove for a bit yesterday, and it wasn’t easy, but it was do-able. The headaches respond to Advil. People are warning me about the panic attacks, but I had those before paxil, so I don’t think that will be something I’ll attribute to that. The flu-like symptoms may or may not show up. I’m hoping to skip over the rage phase, too. I’m not good at being angry. Time will tell. Yesterday was good – I was busy and productive and in a fine mood, and if I get a nice nap in, I think I’m up for a repeat performance.
