quitting paxil by switching meds…
I quit taking Paxil by switching to Prozac, which has a longer half-life, and then coming off the Prozac. As a result, I didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms, whatsoever, and I’d been on 20 mg. of Paxil for over a year.
I’m a registered nurse and still can figure out what tapering is….1/2 tab for 1 month than 1/4 for 1 month?????or what. Need specifics for tapering. All I wanted to do was get through menopause.
Now I’m just trying to get through Paxil withdrawals!

With Paxil, you could try shaving a little off each pill, or you could take the liquid form of Paxil, and gradually reduce the amount you consume. How quickly – or slowly – you reduce the amount will depend upon how you feel. The safest way is to go as slowly as possible. – Mark) Paxil Withdrawals I was on Paxil for 4 weeks only, some IGNORANT doctor (and greedy…they get major kickbacks for pushings those meds on us) put me on it after a death in my family.
