Paxil withdrawal
by DaniX, May 22, 2007 12:00AM
My boyfriend has been on paxil for 4 years now. His doctor kept decreasing the dosage to take him off. He has been totally off of it for a little over a week now. He has gotten very moody and very angry. He never used to be this way. In fact, now he threatens to break up with me over the littlest things when before we would always talk and get through things together. Is this normal? Should I be patient with him and just wait it out? Does he mean what he says or is it just withdrawal side effects?

It is definitely the withdrawal side effects. Do some research online and you can get some great advice on how to better deal with the withdrawal symptoms. Good luck!

It is good that he is weening off of the prescrip meds as they can tend to be addictive. If he is looking for natural alternatives meds to help get him away from the other meds there is a good site that I have had a lot of good experience with here: http://www.jigsawhealth.com/articles/depression.html. There is also a lot of good info on dietary and lifestyle changes that may be good to read as well.
