Hello @rosa66. I am wondering if you have consulted your doctor about your interest in tapering? Is it your intention to taper off both drugs or the one that seems to be causing you more side effects?

I have. Am 9 months off a too rapid taper of Paxil and declining. I’ve read that Primidone can have side effects like increased depression and anxiety which is ruining my life.
I wish the neuro had told me pros and cons b4 prescribing. I’m also 66 with osteoporosis and it is not recommended according to drugs.com and Mayo 🙁
They also put me in ambien and Ativan the past 6 weeks and I’m getting worse. So scared about getting off them all
