The symptoms you describe are very typical of paroxetine (Paroxin CR) discontinuation syndrome rather than addiction.The brief electric shock or brain zap sensations, dizziness, nausea, and feeling unwell after missing the medicine for even 1–2 days are well recognised because paroxetine has a short half life. It does not mean you are dependent on the medication in the way addictive drugs cause dependence. If your original symptoms have remained well controlled for years, you should consult a psychiatrist about a very gradual supervised taper, as stopping suddenly or skipping doses is likely to cause these withdrawal symptoms. If, however, your anxiety or other symptoms return during dose reduction, you may require a longer duration of treatment. Until you are reviewed, take the medication regularly at the same time every day and avoid missing doses.A psychiatrist can help determine whether it is appropriate to taper, continue, or switch to another SSRI with a lower risk of withdrawal symptoms.

آپ کی پریشانی بالکل سمجھ آتی ہے۔ دو دن dose miss ہونے پر جھٹکے، “current” جیسے احساس اور متلی Paroxetine withdrawal کی علامات ہو سکتی ہیں؛ یہ نشہ نہیں، مگر یہ دوا اچانک چھوڑنے پر جسم ردِعمل دے سکتا ہے۔ 11 سال بعد اسے خود سے بند یا alternate days نہ کریں۔ Psychiatrist سے review کروا کر dose کو بہت آہستہ، مرحلہ وار کم کرنے کا plan بنائیں۔ اگر کبھی بےہوشی، دورہ، شدید confusion یا جسم کے ایک حصے میں کمزوری ہو تو فوری medical assessment کروائیں۔ مناسب taper سے دوا safely کم یا بند کی جا سکتی ہے۔
