Hi Guys,

I've been on Paroxetinefor about 4 years now. My highest dose was 80 mg (only for a month or two) and then 60 mg for most of the 4 years. I've managed to reduce it back to 20 mg with the help of seroquel and modafinil with virtually no withdrawal effects. I would highly recommend this combination of medications (seroquel and modafinil) to anyone with severe depression.

I would like to know if anyone taking Paroxetine experienced personality changes while taking this medication. I feel like a zombie all the time. I'm not tired (I exercise every day), but I just have no emotions, have no need to socialize. Will these symptoms dissapear once I stop Paroxetine?

Paroxetine has also caused severe sexual side effects. I haven't had an erection in about 4 years. Will these side effects dissapear after discontinuing Paroxetine?

Thanks

They should disappear, but you need to wean off this med slowly.
