How To Wean Off Paxil Tablet Slowly Without Any Side Effects?
I was on Paxil for about 18 years. Then, I decided to stop. I tapered off gradually, going from 20 mg to about 2.5 mg over the course of about 5 months. Then, all hell broke loose -- I experienced extreme anxiety, and my depression returned. I went to my doctor and he put me back on Paxil 20 mg. I ve been on it again now for about 10 weeks, but it doesn t seem to be working. Combining the Paxil with Ability and then Wellbutrin has not seemed to improve things. What should I do

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to let your doctor know that the combination is not working for you.
You may need the dose of one or more of the medications altered or the medications themselves may need to be changed.
Paxil is not at the maximum so a change may be considered but this should be done with your doctor's approval
I hope this helps
