In reply to Should I take Paxil??!!, posted by wavs2u2 on December 6, 2000, at 18:57:52
> Ok I finally went to the doc and got some med. for my depression. As I had said in a earlier post I am scarred to death of meds, the ones I havent taken before. He gave me Paxil, which I have heard helps panic attacks as well in which I have. I have heard some really bad side effects,and I was wondering if I should even try it. Also they say never to stop a drug suddenly because of the bad side effects, well Im surposed to take a half tablet of 20 mg a day...how can you wean off that? If I start it and in a few months need to stop...do I just stop cold turkey..will I have any side effects if I do? Please give me some info..I am surposed to start it in the morning and im scarred. Please let me know what you think. Thank You.

10 mg. is a low dose and if you ever need to withdraw your doctor will help you but it is done slowly. Sometimes you can start on another antidepressant while going off Paxil and that way no side effects.
