Phillipa,
I think sometimes it's true that what you expect will happen but in my case it's absolutely not true. I expected it to be easy and then my first "official" taper of paxil from 20mg. to 0 over a 10 week period ended up disasterous and I was expecting it to go off without a hitch.
I just think some people get lucky. That's the only way I can explain why I've had the problems I've had trying to come off of paxil on numerous occasions. Believe me, if you saw how it affected me even going slow you wouldn't have believed it.
Good luck in your taper. God willing you will be just fine!
