Hello. I Have Been On Paxil For A Total Of

Hello. I have been on Paxil for a total of 15 years. I started it when I was going through menopause. For the last year I have been trying to come off of this drug!!! I ended up in the ER a year ago not knowing what was going on with my body. An eye specialist is who ended up diagnosing Paxil withdrawal. My question today is- in mid December I started having moderate to above moderate muscle aches-a dull constant ache. At that time I was down to 5mg Paxil from 30mg Paxil. It effects my sleep due to such bad aching. I don't know what else to give credit, other than Paxil. If this is still withdrawal, how long will it last?
