Paxil CR…How Do I Go Off of It?
Question by Kristina: Paxil CR…How do I go off of it?
I have been on Paxil CR for about a year. I recently missed a dose, it was the worst feeling that you could imagine. I felt like a drug addict. I couldn’t stop throwing up, I was dizzy, sweating, shivering. HORRIBLE! After this happened I realized I can’t live like this, completely dependent on Paxil. I can’t be scared to miss a dose. I want to be off of it. My doctor isn’t exactly the best doctor in the world and don’t want to ask for her help, she is quite strange! haha. So I would like to know how I should take myself off of it? Help! Please!

Paroxetine can be a bitch to come off. You didn’t say how much your on, but I was on 40mg for over a year and had to reduce the dosage very slowly. Switch to immediate release then knock a few mg off over 4-5 days until you get down to 10mg, then it should be a lot easier.
You will have to cut the tablets into half and quarters this is why you need to switch to IR.
It just takes time and patience and will power as with any drug.
