Tips on how to wean off of Paxil (paroxetine): Bad withdrawal.

Posted by debamato @debamato, Feb 21 4:10pm

I’ve been on Paxil for 20 years and that time went from 20 mg to 40 mg. Currently weaning off and down to 20 mg but having very bad side effects I would love to hear your positive experiences with this.

TY, my anxiety is worse, it’s been 3 weeks dosing from 30 to 20. Hard to eat healthy because I don’t feel like eating at all. Starting to miss work. Not sure if I should push through and get to the job. See how I do.

Your going way too fast. Reduce by 10 percent every three months.

I would love to hear from those who have gone through this process, how long it took, how often did you go down on your dose, how long side effects remain, etc. How you got the courage to continue life as usual....where did you get the strength. I just want to lay on my couch like a vegetable and I know this is not productive.
