withdrawing while taking medication?

i take 40mg paroxetine daily, have done for about 5 years now, but over the last year or 2 i’ve noticed i am getting withdrawal effects less than 24 hours after my last dose, they start to kick in at around the 18 hour mark, why is this happening?😩 it’s not just brain zaps, i get ‘electric shocks’ in my mouth, fingers, arms, feet & legs. this is the only ssri that i’ve found to work for me

Started tapering, feeling anxious

I have been using paroxetine 15 mg for couple years due to my ADHD + anxiety.

For the last week I am taking 10 mg but started feeling anxious more.

Is this normal? I know it probably is but I want to get comfirmation from people who reduced their dosage. Please help me out I don't wanna feel bad.
