No, no, no. If you in fact have a doctor who in fact told you to just stop taking Paxil, this is a doctor you don't want to ever see again. Ever. I don't know if that's really how it went down, but this is one of the most difficult drugs to stop taking, and needs to be tapered off of slowly to be safe. Taking another antidepressant until you've finished tapering successfully off Paxil won't stop withdrawal effects, it will just give you two drugs to have to deal with at the same time. Go back to your original dose, and find a psychiatrist who knows how to do this correctly to save yourself needless suffering. Really, did your doctor really tell you this?
