Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I can think of two possibilities here -
1. The first is that you have abruptly discontinued all your medications , ( and it is quite a substantial list ) , so that would be the reason for all these withdrawal symptoms.
It is best to taper off these drugs in a tailored manner, after medical consultation, instead of stopping them cold turke.
Also, you can ask for an alternative to Paxil, and meanwhile continue dieting and exercises.
2. You might be having peri menopausal changes, which often lead to such vague and troublesome symptoms.
This can be confirmed by hormonal evaluation - measurement of FSH, LH, Serum estradiol.
Please get this workup done and have the drug modifications as suggested.
All the best
