Getting off the anti-depressants
It's time to get off the paroxetine! I've been on 20mg for 3 months (for the sleeping issues I had). I've done some research on how this stuff impacts REM sleep. I suspect that Paxil is to blame for my lack of restorative sleep. I cut it down to 10mg last night and I slept much better. We'll see how things go over the long haul with this. I've read many bad stories of paxil withdrawal and the need to taper. So it concerns me a bit. But I also read that only about 10 - 25% experience any withdrawals at all even with quitting cold turkey. So we'll see where I fit in with all of that!
