> Hmmm...yes, I think I will cut back...it will be less of a hassle for me to keep having to split the pills. I'm sure I can cut cold turkey without any problems, but whatever. It might be fun for me to experiment on going cold turkey though...see if it really does anything at all.

**please** don't try to go cold turkey. Even if the med isn't doing anything for you that doesn't mean that it will be easy to just stop taking it. I know that some folks have had a hard time getting off of this med. I myself haven't taken it, but experienced a terrifying (to other people), difficult, and lengthy w/drawal from Paxil. So please take care of yourself.

Do you see a therapist with whom you could discuss this decision? You could ask if s/he has seen changes in the past yr, if s/he thinks the med is helpful. Also, if you cut back or discontinue s/he could tell you if you seem to worsen. I know that I can't always tell for myself.

Best,
EE
