How can I quit my paroxetine without going through hell 😖😖😖
Please tell me what should I do, I have been taking paroxetine for over a year first it was 37.5mg and later on it became 50mg. Every time when I talk with someone or with my family they will just tell me to go and take my meds and that I’m crazy or psycho. I’m just 17 years old and I’m really really tired I don’t know what to do. Should I just quit it? But I’m really really scared of what will happen to me afterwards.

I am glad to hear that you Already been exercising that helps us stay healthy BOTH physically and MENTALLY. It is mental health reward that is More important for your condition. So I’d think that you are Also Eating Balanced food, as you will see on e.g. Harvard University’s (but unfortunately no longer, I think, on CDC, the govt’s) It shows on a plate what portions of veggies+fruit, proteins from grains and chkn, and lots of nuts (peanuts are affordable for all).
So to yr “what I am supposed to do” it seems you’re on your way to be able to see your doc one day and ask: Do you think I can go on a lower dose?
Soon I hear from you that you’re Already been on healthy food for weeks, hopefully have good sleep we can then move on to your, “Cause every time that I get a little bit happy in life I feel like that it’s not the right thing and I feel if I’m happy then I stay unaware of my life...”
(I already see that you are progressing with plans for your studies)

You need a psychiatrist with a clear tapering program.
This is not an easy med to stop.
It will very well cause withdrawal symptoms that will be tough . Without support, I’d say don’t stop it .
