Thank you so much.. The reason I asked is that I saw somewhere awhile back that there was a huge law suit against the company that manufacturs Paxil I thought because of with drawel. I can tell you that it's harder to get off of the paxil for me than it is the pain meds.. and I take loads of the same, but of course, pain meds are much easier on the body.. Not NSAIDS, but true opiads that is..
Thanks again..
Tim
