Answers:
I discontinued paxil, and it is tough! It took me several tries. This is what finally worked for me:
Get the tablet form from your Dr. (not the cr) and a pill cutter. Cut the dose down by 1/4 each week for 3 weeks. After that, cut the final 1/4 into half and if that for a week or so. Then cut it smaller and so on. If you find a week is too quick, make it 2 weeks.
THEN when you are close to the end, you may start to feel really terrible. When those symptoms start, take a VERY SMALL piece of paxil, your symptoms should be relieved in 1/2 hour. Do that as often as needed until you are free.
As I mentioned, it took me several tries to wean off. Good Luck, and allow yourself to go off of it slowly.
