In reply to Panic from stopping Paxil or starting Zoloft?, posted by Jackster on May 19, 2001, at 3:10:11
I believe that 200 mg. of Zoloft is equivalent to 40 mg. of Paxil. I have taken Zoloft at 200 mg. per day, as well as 100 or 150 at other times.
I currently take Paxil at 20 mg. per day. Zoloft pooped out on me such that I was having PAs at 150 mg per day so I went to Paxil, carefully tapering the zoloft down and the Paxil up. I'm surprised your pdoc did not have you taper them together this way.
Anyway, I tried to cut the paxil down to 10 mg per day and had PAs returning. 20 is working for me now; nevertheless, I am toying with the idea of tapering off it and using only klonopin at a low dose every day or just every evening or even as needed since my PAs are sporadic and infrequent.
Anyone have any experience with doing what I am thinking of doing?
