You may find some advice if you googel 'weaning off Paxil' or something similar, but I would suggest you and your prescriber work together on this. Generally a gradual decrease over time works best to avoid the withdrawal symptoms.

I quit meds cold turkey and would never recommend that method. I suspect that what you've heard is the worst scenarios and possibly stories from those who didn't work with their prescriber to wean off slowly.

You are taking it now and feeling better, but worrying about when you might come off it some day?

Are you seeing a therapist to help with the anxiety and panic?

I replaced my meds with therapy and it has been so helpful!
