Re: changeing from paroxetine to citrolapram advice please
Ideally you should allow a few days for the paroxetine to clear out of your system before starting citalopram. Some doctors use cross-tapering, ie, gradually reducing one drug while starting you on another, but there are no clear-cut guidelines on this and doctors seem to have different approaches.
I would say see how you go with your doc's advice and if you have any problems go back and ask for a withdrawal plan.
I was on paroxetine for 7 years and had a nightmare coming off it but you may do fine. It's hard to tell.
