So he's indicating that he's going to go cold turkey when he runs out of Paxil?
Sheesh
I know virtually nothing about Paxil itself but I know about anti -depressants both first and second hand. I wanted to stop taking mine a while ago but my doc recommended that I stay on them for 2 years. Her reasoning? This was the second time I'd been on ADs (first time was 7 years ago) and I'd only been on them since May this year this time around. going off them at this point would potentially be nasty.
Your h, while he does have a choice of what he does with his own body, really should go see his doctor before going off his meds. He should cut it down slowly (eg going to a half dose per day for a couple of weeks and so on).
Have a look at this website (I just googled Paxil withdrawal) - show it to h. Point out the withdrawal side effect of bowel problems. yucko.
