Weaning of Paxil and Xanax

by kkomack, Jun 22, 2008 12:54PM
I have been on 50mg of Paxil CR. 1mg of Xanax XR  for anxiety and depression. I also take 50mg of Trazadone for sleeping, I have been on this combination since January 2006.  I have been well since then.  I am trying to wean myself to a "maintenance" level of Paxil. I tried to lower the dosage by 2.5mg on a weekly basis, but when I get around 37.5mg, the anxiety comes back I think I know where the cutoff point is, and I will try again. Then I will try and totally wean myself off of Xanax.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
