I took paxil a couple of decades ago. For maybe 1 to 1.5 yrs

I think I took 2 pills daily. I got a pill cutter. I then did 1.5 pills for a week or two, then 1 pill for a week or two, then half a pill, then half a pill on alternate days then stopped.

Still had brain zaps but not the end of the world in terms of overall side effects.

Definitely recommend easing off slowly if you and your dr feel weening off is appropriate

I’m guessing it may depend on how long someone has been on it. For me it was about 30 years. It was and still is rough.

I’m glad you did well !
