> The data sheet for Seroxat (Paroxetine) warns of a discontinuation reaction, as does the leaflet that comes in the packet.
> Symptoms such as dizzyness, anxiety, sweating, shaking and insomnia are not uncommon. They do however tend to pass after a week or so. Hope this helps. James

I have heard that discontinuation of Paxil should be done very, very slowly to avoid severe side effects like you described above. Another suggestion is to prescribe Prozac during the discontinuation phase. This should be done under the direction of your doctor.
