Was constipated for a month and after i was going normal but sore plus diagnosed with ibs.on paxil (paroxetine) for 6 days and not going again.should i get off it?

No - don't just quit: Yes -Do call the Dr ASAP to describe the situation and get advice about it - maybe a different Rx. Quitting cold turkey can be very risky - sometimes not - but play it safe. Till then, drink lots of water, eat prunes and probiotic foods, exercise the trunk area and ask advice when you call the Dr. Best!
