My wife has been on 12.5 Paxil CR for 2 weeks and cannot stand the constant sleepiness and wants to stop.
1. Can/Should she just stop cold turkey from this dosage?
2. Can she cut up the CR pills (I know you don't know what percentage you get of which pills pop when (or filler?) but does it really matter for tapering off)
3. Would she start increasing the interval between her dose (currently 24 hours)
4. Would switching to an alternative like lexapro or effexor aleviate the need for tapering.
5. I've read of people stopping Paxil cold turkey and taking a single shot of Prozac (10-20 mg) and letting the long half life of Prozac do the tapering automatically for them...
Anyone?
