Detailed Answer:
HI dear !

Thanks for your query.

As you describe your symptoms have no relation with menopause. Your symptoms have relation with discontinuation of paxil.

You should be monitored for these symptoms because a gradual reduction in the dose rather than abrupt cessation is recommended whenever is possible.
Please contact with your doctor for this problem.

Take care
