Dose tapering: Find out how long he is on Paxil (paroxetine) for. One cannot just discontinue these type of meds abruptly. It has to be gradually tapered then discontinued. Have him see a doctor or a psychiatrist.

Be supportive: Going through Paxil (paroxetine) withdrawal can be very difficult. Depending on the dose the person is taking, it may take several weeks to taper one off of the medication. As a loved one, being supportive to them through this process can be very helpful.
