A member asked:

I have been taking paxil cr for one month. how long do withdrawl symptoms last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends : It would likely not be a long period of withdrawal, possibly as short as 3-5 days. It might be mitigated by reducing the dose gradually over 2-3 weeks before stopping.
