How do you come off Paxil ?

[tt]

My sister found out in a hurry that you can not stop taking paxil as within 3 days she was totally nauseated.
How do you come off with limited symptoms?

I also have been taking them for 3weeks and still feel tired and sweat more than usual, does this go away.

I would admit I had a few side effects while starting them with the nausea and sweats even when I held up my arm.

I have found that I have alot of released tension in my neck and shoulders, but still worry a bit about heart attacks.

Thanks for being here,

Hi

Best to see doc and come off it VERY slowly

You can get the liquid form so you can reduce 1mg at a time!!!

Its very hard to stop it but it can be done gradually

It has to be done slowly and reduce the dose each week

Get the GP to draw up a plan for you.

I agree I am on Paxil. You go on it slowly and off it even slower. Good luck.
