>I took Paxil way back in 2000 for about 6 months and discontinued with horrible shocks in my head that continued for several months afterwards.
The 'brain shocks' are normally an SSRI withdrawal symptom. If you are very sensitive to this effect, withdrawal symptoms may occur between doses with a short-acting SSRI such as paroxetine. Taking paroxetine twice a day eg. 10mg bd would be an alternative to taking Paxil CR. To be honest, given your previous experience with it, I think it would be better for you to avoid paroxetine altogether.
