Hi Emily.

> DO NOT stop paxil cold turkey or drop your dose too quickly.

Your advice is excellent for anyone who has been taking one of these drugs for two weeks or longer. However, he has been taking Paxil for only 5 days. I think reducing the dosage or even discontinuing the medication abruptly at this point will help more than it will hurt. I would be surprised to see a withdrawal reaction so soon. I guess you never know for sure when it comes to psychiatric medication, though.

I agree that the greatest service this message board can perform at this time is to advise that the doctor be contacted as soon as possible and to convey that these side effects are sometimes temporary. It is difficult for us to know for sure if this is the right drug or wrong drug for him. However, Paxil is certainly a good choice for his described conditions.
