Re paxil withdrawal: Please inform her clearly of what is happening to her. I would suggest you go to the site I mentioned and print out that info for her. I would not expect much help from her doctor! Doctors often don't know these things. Consult the doc, by all means, but I think y'all are going to have to do this yourselves. I would expect the worst part of the withdrawal to take at least a month. But to be totally free of it... that article said it might take a year. Sorry! PLEASE PLEASE RESEARCH THIS AND BECOME INFORMED. The withdrawal from paxil was one of the most physically unpleasant things that ever happened to me.
