yes, to some medications. I will be calling my doctor on Monday. I been on paxil for about 20 years, do u think it could take almost 15 years to cause the stiffness.

Please make sure you do a very slow taper when coming off paxil. Docs don't understand the bad side effects coming off. Read up on paxil withdrawal.

It's an awful awful drug to come off of. Make sure you and your doc talk about tapering slowly. There are better drugs out there now. Read up on the side effects.
