Tamlee,
FYI. For me, I have to taper off of Paxil VERY GRADUALLY otherwise I experience extreme nausea and very bad vertigo.

> I have been on Paxil at 30 mg PRN for a little over a year now.
> I have zero sex drive and I have gained TONS of weight and the paxil is not enough for my depression. Great for the anxiety and paranoia.

> I was told by my Dr. that I was to do a taper method of 1/2 tab per 1 week for 3 weeks, along with taking the effexor.
> I would much rather stop taking the paxil all together.
> Should I continue both med. or can I safely stop taking the paxil today?
> I have not noticed any side effects as of yet but it is only the first day.
> Thanks so much Tamlee.
