Hi,

i have never taken paxil but I suggest that you reduce your dose slowly - just start taking one every two days and see how you get on. But talk to your gp about it first.

All the best

I have been on paxil before and I too got myself off them. Doctor told me to start taking one every other day for a week. Next week start taking one every two days. Next week take on every three days and so on. I remember not liking the way it made me feel. I felt all jittery and confused, there was even one day I stayed home because I felt it was dangerous for me to be driving. But that didn't last long.
