Decision time. I am on my last month of Paxil before having to contact my doc to ask for more. I am thinking that I should take this month and step down off the stuff. But I think I might be psychologically addicted. I am a little worried that the anxiety attacks will start again right after stepping down. Ah … decisions, decisions.
don’t just taper off. see a shrink and slowly replace the paxil with an hour of talk therapy every week. it’s way more reassuring than a pill in the long run.
come off of it slowly…don’t just quit cold turkey!!
hey chas.
sounds like going the slow route is the most recommended. i completely understand the desire to go without paxil, but body/mind chemistry can be a fragile thing, so proceed with caution. what does your doc say?
Ahem and amen
