No! This drug (paroxetine) has one of the worst records for withdrawal reactions. You must taper off it slowly. You should take a minimum of six weeks to taper off, IMHO.

I quit it cold turkey. And I DO NOT recommend it.
If you do you will remember it as probably the worst experience of your life. Its like getting kicked in the head and stomche over and over and over again.
And you will not sleep. Not eat. Not function. How can you function getting kicked and the head and stomach over and over? You cant.
Please dont do that to yourself.

i'm used to that feeling
but i suffer from psychosis man,
i always think that i am not normal, and i feel i different, but there is one med that made me feel kinda normal again like the old days when i used to get out much with friends... so why taking a can of dogfood for cats?

Jerone,DO NOT DO IT !!! Paxil has a short half-life, which results in terrible withdrawal. It is pure hell!! The only way to get off paxil sooner is to go on prozac, because prozac has a long half-life.
