Hmm, I found PAxil to be a cakewalk getting off of in comparison to Effexor. If you switch from one to the other directly, the withdrawals are minimal.
> I don't have a good suggestion of what to take, but I have one I wouldn't reccomend: Paxil. It was only somewhat helpful and the withdrawal was a nightmare. Withdrawal was over one month of physical symptoms (nausea, dizziness) and emotional symptoms (severe depression, mental fogginess, suicidal thoughts). My pdoc said that she doesn't like to prescribe it anymore for just that reason. I thought that I'd mention it b/c I could see a doc trying to push it on you b/c of anxiety.
