Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I know several people who either stopped their antidepressants abruptly or tapered off without consulting doctors. All of them crashed badly. I don't know specifically about Paxil, but I believe there is a specific protocol for stopping. Have you considered talking to the prescribing doctor?

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I was on Paxil previously, and was taken off of it. My doctor had me go off of it in very small steps, over the course of two weeks, to where I was taken a half dosage every other day the last few days. It is a drug one needs to be very careful going off of. You should definitely get in touch with your doctor to find out exactly how you should get off this med. > > I don't > know specifically about Paxil, but I believe there is a specific protocol > for stopping.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hello ! I t hink you are answering me. Well, it's my neuro who prescribed it for me, at my request. I will actually ask him about this but wanted to get some input from people here , as I said, my neuro is ok but sometimes I think he doesnt put enought thought into some of the instructions he gives and I wanted to be moreknowledgeable before I embark on any advice of his regarding tapering off from paxil.
