>Thanks for the advice!! I'm just now getting over this stomach flu thing so I had to cancel going to see my Dr, now I'm going on next thursday. I hope to come up with a plan on coming off this paxil to get on parnate. It really worries me how messed up I get if I don't take the paxil for only two days, and that's cause I only take 40 mg. Does the Parnate help you with motivation? That's one of my big issues that bring me down.
I really want to thank everyone for the advice here. I know having the support from here will really help when I start coming off the paxil and making the switch to an MAOI...
