Has anyone taken Paxil for a while and then stopped taking it?

Yep. You have to progressively cut the dose in half, take that for two weeks, then cut it in half again, take that for two weeks, then you can quit.

It gave me what felt like electric shocks when I was cutting down.

I am currently back on paxil, since without it, I become entirely too angry over what amounts to nothing.

I think my recent episode which resulted in my changing my journal name is a result of having cut back on buspar.

I was taking it for anxiety but I did notice at first that it made me entirely *too* agreeable, as in doormat. Much to the little fam's chagrin, that wore off. *g*

Heh, heh!
I'm not normally agreeable at all, though. :/
