I’m on day 4 of a 5 mg reduction of Paxil.
I was taking 20 mg.
I had an appt with my doctor on Tuesday and this is what we decided to do.
Paxil is very difficult to come off of. The last time I tried to do it (about 10 years ago) it triggered something in me that made everything go haywire and I ended up on risperidone to help straighten things out.
Today I woke up feeling a little dizzy and nauseous. Maybe a little irritable. Had intermittent sleep last night.
With twice weekly therapy (1:1 plus group) I feel like I’m in a better place, so hoping to eliminate the Paxil.
Anyway, just wanted to make this post so I can keep track of what’s happening.
I hope things don’t go south.
