Paxil is extremely hard to wean off of. You have been on a low dose for only 8 weeks, I think you’ll be fine with a short taper.

What’s the dosage ?

Hi,
I am currently weaning off Paxil also - from 40 mg, 30 mg, now on 20 mg. and feeling much better. Some days are better than others. I find that when I am home alone, my mind gets the best of me. Dr. is pleased, but wants me to stay at the 20 for another 6 weeks before going down any further. Does this sound encouraging? I really want to get this over with. Has anyone else experienced these ups and downs during the process??
