Hi -

Just be aware that your brain adapts to the presence of most psychoactive drugs - that is why they often "poop out," and why dosages have to be increased over time.

So even though the drug may be gone, your brain may still have some adjusting to do in the other direction - this can occur over a period of months and you may find original symptoms coming back or "side effects" emerging, e.g. anxiety

This is the reason why very slow tapers off psychoactive medications, where feasible, are easier to stomach and more effective. You don't get too far ahead of your brain's ability to make changes in response to the reduced level of the medication. Like a soft landing rather than a hard landing.

Paxil is a tough one to kick fast. It can have a bit of a bite, I understand, so pay attention to negative things if and as they occur. You may need to restart and work your way down more slowly.

Sounds like you are doing well ... just pay attention to yellow flags before they become red flags. Number one reason for people who respond to meds getting sick again is stopping too soon and/or too suddenly. It's like a diabetic getting their diabetes under control with insulin and then deciding that they are doing so well they don't need insulin any more.

I applaud the "no-med" objective, but you *may* be hurrying things. Just be careful
