Are you weaning?: Are you going off or thinking about stopping,these meds? First, only do this with your doctor's guidance. The actual half life of the meds may not actually predict how quickly you should,wean or what you will experience. It is usually increased anxiety. However, a small group of my patients have reported flashes of light while on Paxil (paroxetine). You may want to look at that med as a possible cause.
