Such a good article for anyone considering weaning off their serotonin inhibiters, like Paxil (paroxatine). I told my health care provider I felt ok getting off the meds, because I had taken them for situational anxiety that had gone away now. She recommended 50% for a week and then jump off, like most other physicians. I told her I tried that, but I felt weird. I had gone to a 75% pill for several weeks, and felt alright. Her advise was several weeks of 50%, then 50% every other, then every two days, then stop.
I got through the several weeks of 50%, but when I started the every other day, I was so keen to not have the pills and pretty happy that I decided to jump off completely.
Just a few brain buzzes to deal with, and some dizziness sometimes. I’ll give it some time and see if those go away. It’s a little rough at times, because I am having to be on my feet all the time during my workday.
I hope work settles down again soon! Or my vacation time kicks in. One of those. 🙂
