Thank you much Huxley for what you said.I am so sorry about the difficulties you are experiencing. Wow, even drug companies don't advise you to CT anything.
I am very flattered by you calling me an expert. But I wanted to be honest and say I am not a medical professional.
What I have learned is from the paxil progress boards which I strongly advise people to visit if they want help in getting off of these meds. The url is http://www.paxilprogress.org.
It isn't easy by any means and even a slow taper didn't prevent withdrawal symptoms. But seeing how much I am progressing after I stopped the meds has greatly convinced me that going slow is the right strategy.
