How can i quit paxil (paroxetine) cold turkey?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not a good idea.: Paxil (paroxetine) and other ssri anti-depressants should not be stopped cold turkey- this can cause a withdrawal syndrome. Talk with whomever prescribed you the medication about tapering off of it- usually this is done over days to weeks.
