We decided I would go off of Parnate to try Paxil since I also have social anxiety disorder. I was certain I would suffer effects if I quit cold turkey ( I had just about run out of meds from another doc's Rx) but he was confident it was no problem and I didn't find anything on Pubmed to prove myself right.

I probably wasn't insistant enough with him, due to the social phobia.Mmmm...
I had the misfortune to be referred, here in the UK, to 2 former, eminent, colleagues of Dr Stahl whom I can honestly say were a disgrace to their profession (tho' they spoke v. highly of Stahl)
Not that this in any way reflects upon the good Dr Stahl.....
