Am in week 4 of wean from Paxil. I went every other day with 10 mg for 2 weeks then twice a week for the other 2 weeks. I am in week 4 and stopped it now 9 days ago. At day 8 I had some anxiety return but dealt with it. I didn't think going twice a week for the last 2 weeks would be that big a deal. Lol. I don't want to go back on it if possible. I like being myself thought wise anyway and when I was on 20mg for a short time a while back it basically neutered my sex drive which made me realize I don't wanna take this pill and brought me to this point. Any tips on dealing with the foggy ness , edginess, and space out feelings until my body readjusts would be appreciated. I do run 3-5 miles at a time .....3-4 times a week and it does help a lot. I also am going to a psychologist for cbt and he also is doing a new thing called neurotherapy on me as well although the jury is still out on the latter.... Lol. Well thanks for listening.... Like I said ... Any tips ??

Thanks
David D

Hi David I've not been on that med nor do I have any valuable advice here. I just wanted to say you are obviously very proactive in getting to a good place with your anxieties and no doubt that is going to benefit you before long. All the best.


Thanks for the encouraging words Frankie.
