My mother stopped her Paxil and appears to have gone crazy

She went on Paxil eight years ago when my dad died, and now she's acting irrationally.

    She needs serious medical attention!

    This sounds like a major brain trauma to me. I would definitely have her checked for a brain tumor, bleeding on the brain, or some other biological cause for this major shift in behavoir. I sincerely doubt merely withdrawing from Paxil would cause this magnitude of a reaction.

    I do hope you can get to the bottom of this.
