That's right. Cold turkey's not a good idea. Tapering is necessary. In a pinch, Chris, I'd probably call my pharmacist and ask what is a safe way to taper from your current dose of Paxil, if you're determined to get off it. Or, he might encourage you to continue.

Did you ask your doctor if it was ok for you to quit? It's good to work with, rather than against your doc. I don't think you need Paxil withdrawal problems in addition to your other problems. So, this might not be a good time to start thinking that you no longer need your med.

Try to call the pharmacist while you're still feeling sort of clearheaded, okay?
