Hi I came of also. I lasted 5 weeks.i was so sick without them the withdrawls were horrific.my depression got so so bad.i went back on them but I'm only taking 1/2 a tablet and I feel so much better
You must taper slowly. Cut your dose by 10% drops each time and stay there at New dose until all symptoms have gone. I personally went from 20mg-10mg with minimal problems, but dropping from 10-5 took about 2 months to stabilise. I'm now on 4.2 mg and can only drop by 0.2 mg at a time now or else the side effects are unbearable
Hi Donna been on Paxil around 12 years..I went from 7mg to 5mg because i got excited that I was getting off.. Im paying for it now.. Im holding at 5mg.. Been a month of waves.. Stomach , weakness, flu like symptoms.. Im hoping this second month that it will be getting better. Any advice? Thx
Been on 20mg paroxetine for 17 years, halved my dose four days ago and not slept since. My wife was on them for about a year and came off using the liquid, but doctors are loathe to prescribe it as it costs a lot more than the tablets.
Hi everyone. I'm a member of a really supportive Facebook group called Paroxetine Paxil Seroxat SSRI withdrawal. It's full of good people and everyone is trying to taper. The main things that I've learned from the group are to definitely get liquid to taper and to go slow (we advocate 5-10% drops) come find us
