> I think you should ask your doctor to give you a withdrawal schedule. Then ask the pdoc to try an MAOI. Best of luck to you.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. But should I wait till I see a pyschiatrist to do that? Tomorrow I'm only seeing a family doc. I cant get in with a pdoc for another 2 weeks. Say I do start to come off the paxil, can they give me something to ease the withdrawl effects? If they give me something like a benzo, would I have to wait another 2 weeks after taking that?
What are the effects from coming off Paxil by the way? I also take Ritalin for ADD, do I have to be off that for two weeks as well before starting an MAOI? Can I take anything for ADD while on an MAOI? Though I've heard MAOIs are for ADD too. Sorry for all the questions, but my husband is off from work for the next two weeks so now would be a good time for a wash out.Thanks so much
