Been on paxil (paroxetine) 16 years not working but can't get off it on 50 mg i'm depressed what can i add to it or take or cross taper for depression

Paxil (paroxetine) is a problem : The common recommendation is to start Prozac that has a long half life : up to five days. From my experience: slow down rate of taper when you get under 20 mg. i would advice to see psychiatrist to find out appropriate tx of depression and receive personal guidance with Paxil (paroxetine) taper. It could be quite rocky road.

Many possibilites: I think you are saying that Paxil (paroxetine) has been partially, but insufficiently, helpful. It is a fairly common situation for one medicine to be insufficient. There is a long list of medicines that can be added or cross-tapered to. Speak to your prescriber about the best choice for you, as an individual.

Cross tapering Paxil (paroxetine): With Prozac is a good choice but requires assessment, monitoring for return of symptoms for which paxil (paroxetine) was prescribed, and adjustments based on side effects experienced during the cross taper. I accepted your request earlier today and we'll be happy to discuss this with you further.
