Just wondering if anyone else has been on it and what worked to get off of it? If making a switch to another ssri can you start taking the other one while going down on the paxil?
Have tried tapering paxil without adding anything and it's just hell for me.
Thanks! Laney

Biting off tiny pieces daily for two weeks and completely off with low dose xanax no problem. Phillipa

No personal experience, but I've read about cross-tapering. Should work. If you don't plan to start something new, I've also read about this strategy where you take a little prozac since it has a long half which makes it easier to ease off of. I know I also mentioned benadryl to you before, though it sounds like you tried it and didn't work for you. Too bad. It wasn't a panacea, but it really eased my effexor withdrawal.

Hi,
Yes you can start taking the other one at the same time, there shouldn't be a problem.
