Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Mish, Please be careful paxil withdrawal can hit hard in 3 to 5 days of having none.Don't throw your pills out because you maybe looking for them within a few days. To many people make that mistake.I hope you are one of the lucky ones. Ros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 So far I am fine i was on 40mg, dropped down to 30mg last Thursday and now last night i dropped to 20mg. she told me to drop down to 10mg in 2 days, then in 2 days quit, but i may do it a little slower then what the doctor thinks. This is the most dangerous and irresponsible advice I have ever heard. This doctor has no business prescribing a drug he/she knows so little about. No wonder so many people are messed up if this is the kind of advice they're given. Perhaps you'll be lucky and won't suffer really badly, but very few people could get off paxil in this manner and not go through something hideous as a result.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Mish, I think some of the frustration you're hearing from group members is about your choice to do a fast taper, when so many of us have found out the hard way that a slow taper is best. This group shares knowledge that was gained from hard experience, and has worked with hundreds if not thousands of people coming off these drugs, so she has a good sense of the issue. It's also frustrating when someone refuses to follow this hard-earned advice, then comes back in a panic wanting help with the terrible mess withdrawal has left them in! That said, I wish you well with your plan. You may be one of the lucky ones who can withdraw rapidly without a lot of problems. I do encourage you to drop those last 20 mg more slowly. Are you on any other drugs besides the Paxil? Regards, Kim (co-moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I got really messed up from dropping zyprexa in just this fashion, taking my therapist's advice on how to taper. Big mistake, but the withdrawals didn't kick in for another 2 weeks after I had gotten off the drug, and I had to get a tetanus shot the same day the withdrawals started. So when I got really sick, I blamed it on the shot, but now I know better. > In a message dated 5/11/05 5:50:01 PM Mountain Daylight Time, > mish4464@y... writes: > > > > So far I am fine i was on 40mg, dropped down to 30mg last Thursday and now > > last night i dropped to 20mg. she told me to drop down to 10mg in 2 days, > > then in 2 days quit, but i may do it a little slower then what the doctor > > thinks. > > > > > > This is the most dangerous and irresponsible advice I have ever heard.
