First, when did you start the Paxil, and how much are you currently taking? What is the situation with your thyroid? Are you hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, etc? Are you currently taking medication for the thyroid condition? If so, what medication and dosage? Do you have a history of panic attack, or was it an incorrect diagnosis? I would also suggest that you read the files that were sent to you after you joined. It will give you a better understanding of how we approach things here. If you could provide this information, will be able to give you some suggestions. Best to you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Dear Rob, You said: <<hi there have been on paxil for 2 years just went down to 10 mg fro 20 doing fine i was hyperthyroid since the age of 9 currently 37 AND: <<hi all new to the group trying to get information on the correct way to wean off paxil found out was given it for panic attack(1) 2 years ago and found out never had one thyroids out of wack so now im trying to wean off any sugestions would help thanks>> ** Low decreases done slowly is how it's done, Rob. 5-10% cuts, wait until your body is feeling fine, then another 5- 10% decrease. You may find it takews longer to stabilize in between decreases because of tne thyroid problem. What's your diet like, Rob? Are you willing to examine it and change it if need be?
