A member asked:
How long do paxil (paroxetine) withdrawal symptoms last? i was on paxil (paroxetine) 5mg for two months.
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually 5-7 days: Or even less especially on a dose of only 5 mg. However, there have been case reports of much longer withdrawal reactions reactions, but i suspect that many of those been been upon immediate withdrawal from much higher doses.

Paxil: Although it may only last 1 to 2 weeks, there are some people who have experienced discontinuation syndrome for months.
