Dear Sir / Madam,
Apotex subjected me to the most horrifying experiences imaginable. BEYOND
ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION
AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER
(Documented). As result of Company's negligence (exposure to advanced
structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing
processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or
synergistic effect I am disabled. I am suffering a great deal with life
threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed
medications nor to pay any of my financial dues. I am not able to perform
any chores around my residence, forced to relay on assistance. I was
"swimming in" / a massive exposure with out any protection to a potent
immunosuppressant, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric),
antidepressants and narcotics which overwhelmed my system.
The symptoms of Paxil withdrawal are among the most horrifying experiences
imaginable. The symptoms can take your life and rip it to shreds, mocking
your dignity and stealing your freedom. They ravage your soul. They deaden
your spirit.
Ironically, death often seems like a blessing, so great is the pain of Paxil
Withdrawal Symptoms.
Taking Paxil is like putting a loaded gun to your head. You better be damn
sure you need it before you start.
The withdrawal process can mirror every depiction of hell . The paxil
withdrawals can truly test your sanity. Perhaps the two worse mental
expressions of the paxil withdrawals are the overwhelming feelings of being
isolated, cut off from the world and even from loved ones, and the fear of
permanently losing your sanity. The isolation stems in large part from the
inability to express or even understand what is happening. Nobody can really
look inside another person and know the degree of their suffering. The paxil
withdrawals have always reminded me of the concentration camps of World War
II. Some of the suffering is unimaginable, and certainly much is horrifying.
The bottom line - no one knows ahead of time if they will be one of the
unfortunate who suffer horrendously, or if they will be spared the ravages
of the paxil withdrawals.
Drugs, by definition - are poisons to the body. All drugs are poisons.
Sometimes, however, a person's state has reached the point where a poison is
the best option.
Of all the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) Paxil is
generally considered to be the most potent. It also has the greatest number
of side effects as well as the most severe withdrawal symptoms. There are
hundreds of side effects of paxil. Paxil is nothing but a poison that causes
all sorts of painful, unpleasant side effects. And sometimes the side
effects don't even show themselves until the user attempts to stop taking or
being exposed to paxil.
It is a compilation of my own experience as well as that of the thousands.
The symptoms redefine the term nightmare. Their nature is such, that you
will find yourself questioning your sanity on a continual basis. A certain
lethargy and a depression that was not there beforehand seems to have taken
hold.
It appears that Paxil withdrawal can come in many variations.
. fainting
. "scratching sound" inside one's head
. constant white noise in the ears
. tingling sensation in cheeks, lips, tongue and surrounding areas.
. heart palpitations/ chest pain
. swollen and sore eyes
. fatigue
. extremely localized, bursting headaches
. lump in throat
. rash / dry, flaky, discolored and irritated skin

. intense fear of losing your sanity
. steady feeling of existing outside of reality as you know it (referred to
as depersonalization at times)
. memory and concentration problems
. Panic Attacks (even if you never had one before)
. severe mood swings, esp. heightened irritability / anger.
. Dizziness, which can be quite extreme at times.
. Shocks, called the 'zaps'; usually starting in the mouth or head, and
extending out through the body.
. Sensory sensitivity, especially sounds. Any noise can become a painful
experience. Also, being under florescent lights can create discomfort.
Touch, motion and even smell can be painful.
. Nausea, very common with paxil withdrawal.
. Confusion, memory problems, and difficulty with concentration.
. Severe insomnia and/or nightmares, (now there's a winning combination).
. Extreme mood swings, such as intense grief and intense anger. Plan for
this in advance!

argument becomes too logical, think of those who love you. Think of the
thousands of others who have or who will go through a similar agony. Just
don't give up!
