Has anyone used paxil every other day??? I seem to get brain fog and difficulty thinking and concentrating on paxil. Current dosing 30 mg but going back to 20mg and thinking of doing it every other day. What is the half life of Paxil? Also take klonopin as needed, not too much .5mg cutting in half when needed. Just started taking fish oil and B complex vitaman.

Paxil has a very short 1/2 life, so it is very hard to take it every other day w/o getting ugly side effects. Sounds like it might not be the right SSRI for you. Have you tried any others? Paxil also comes in 10mg tabs, so that might be a better option than every other day.

My husband takes 20mg Paxil on day 1, then 10mg Paxil day2. He continually rotates like that, and finds just enough therapeutic relief without the s/e's. He's done this with success for about 18 months.
He has dysthymia (no anxiety).
Good luck.
