In reply to Dropping Paxil, Help Please.... ASAP, posted by Aylse on November 3, 1999, at 0:26:01
My question, do I have to quit Paxil completely before I begin something else? I am afraid to do that. I will surely get into deep doo doo if I am on nothing, and then have to wait for something else to kick in. How do I do this???? ASAP, If you Please Thanks, Aylse
James here....
You can go from Paxil (a ssri) to another ssri, TCA or some of the odd ball AD's like Effexor w/o a washout. You cannot go to or from a MAOI w/o washout. That would cause deep do do ! Changing from AD to AD does cause a day or to of feeling funny in me, and I take atavin for a day or so so I don't snap at a roommate or innocent bystander for no special reason other than I am crabby. Your milage may vary.
