Hi dear,
you want to withdraw paroxetine but i want to know since when you are on it and since when you are better with it?
to withdraw paroxetine first of all you need to decrease the dose of drug then gradually decrease the medication .
because paroxetine is short acting so withdrawal features appear much if you not going gradually
consult your treating doctor for withdrawal.
Thank you
