> Safe ????? Personally, anything that messes with my brain so bad that withdrawal is like this, that NOONE can explain how it works, that there are NO long term studies on.... is not something I would call safe. I think I'd be better off with cocaine or heroin.. at least with those drugs, there are explanations as to why they do what they do...
> Success stories.. Mine is one. I have been off for 4 weeks. I have had way bad symptoms, but I have gained emotional clarity and gotten myself back. I dont care if I am sick for the next year.. it is still worth it.

I have heard some success stories on a website called quitpaxil.org also. I had trouble getting that page to load today, but try it in the future. There are many testimonials on the site from people who have gotten off the drug, sometimes after much physical and emotional pain, but you can read about other's successes there.
