    Please, never blame yourself for your suffering. Many good people have suffered badly and many cruel, bad people have led rich lives and never got punished. If there is a God, you only have to look at history to realize that he is surely not rewarding the good and punishing the bad, at least not in this earthy life.
    I felt exactly like you during the first 20 months of WD but though it can last long, it is temporary. BEcause you are 20 years younger thn me, you will probably need less time to start recovery.
    Recovering from the ravages of withdrawal after 5 years on Paxil/Seroxat, originally prescribed for stress and, looking backward, PTSS.
    Though it is hardly possible to get something positive from the utter hell of repeated c/t's and protracted w/d, all of this unnecessary, I still believe in the possiblity to emerge from this as a healed, wiser human being.

    Thank you Claudius, it gives me hope that you passed through the same experience and came out quite well on the other side. Im just going to have to hang on until it gets better. Just cant understand why its getting worse still???

    WD can suddenly get worse even as late as 1-2 years off. I got one of the worst waves at the 17 months point, and one more at the 33 months point. I am now at a point that I fele that it will not get worse anymore but it took about 4 years. That, unfortunately , is the time course of WD recovery. But... the good news is that the fact that you are feeling like crap now does NOT mean you will not heal.
