Paxil has been awful to reduce the dose for me too.
It’s been 11 months and I am at 7.5 using the liquid form.
I decrease the dose by .25 milliliter every 3 to 4 weeks.
And, it’s still awful.

To get through this anxiety I cross taper with Remeron.

It still is not easy. Others been thru this?

I never planned on getting off of Paxil because it worked so well for anxiety …. Until it stopped helping after a super stressful time.

Tried cross tapering and nothing helped much so using a slow reduction with liquid and Remeron to help side effects.still have bad spells of restlessness. Upon waking is hard every morning

Is it possible to get thru this withdrawal, be on Remeron and the anxiety will eventually dissipate or atleast not be an every day occurrence like it is with the withdrawal.

If you truly suffer from depression and anxiety rather than tapering off Paxil find an antidepressant that works best for you. I tried Remeron and had terrible results.
Depression and anxiety don’t just go away on their own. You have to realize that it is a condition that you have to treat your entire lifetime. Cycling in and out of depression is no way to live your life.
I wish you the best of luck.
