A member asked:
Was given 10 mg paxil (paroxetine) for anxiety can i start by cutting in 1/2 at 5mg and stick with that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: It's perfectly fine to take 5mg of Paxil (paroxetine) but I doubt that it will have much effect on anxiety at that dose. If 10mg is working why lower the dose?
