I was stupid and just quit cold turkey. I was on 25mgCR a day. Even if you slowly go off Paxil you will still go through withdrawl. I doubt anything triggered it, the withdrawl can cause panic attacks out of the blue. When I was at the ER the doctor told me he had a man in there earlier that day that was there for Paxil withdrawl too. I guess a lot of people have a hard time getting off of it.
I have panic attacks and that is what they feel like. Your heart will race, it is hard to breathe, your chest will feel tight, sweating, etc. It does feel like a heart attack. If you end up having to take meds, try something like Xanax. It is calming and leaves your body after a few hours.
