I'm having adverse reactions from Paxil. I start a SLOW tapering tomorrow. Doc. wants me to being by taking 1 tab. on odd days & 1/2 on even (20mg.) Does this sound like an odd tapering to anyone else? I breast feed my 7 month old & have since his birth. I began taking paxil 7 months ago. No antidepressants for 7 years prior & even then, I never stuck with them for more than a month or 2 @ a time because of the stigma attatched to mental illness. Anyways...I'm side tracking here a bit... I'm concerned about withdrawl for my baby & myself. My doc. wants to put me on anouther, but I haven't been told (didn't ask) med. Being seen 4 psycological & psychiatric assessments in next couple of weeks. (ASSESSMENT SHOULD GO OVER WELL DURING WITHDRAWL, EH?!?) Is there anyone out there that can swap tapering tid bits? Anyone who has breast fed & tapered? Should I be as anxious as I am?
