My husband was on paxil for...oh 6 years or longer. He had the hardest time getting off of that stuff!!! Also if he missed a dose or was a little late taking it he felt so sick. I wouldn't recommend paxil to anyone. Your body becomes addicted to it. Well that's my personal oppinion at least! He is now on Celexa and like's it a lot better than paxil. He has panic attacks. Someone said they had bad dreams tyring to get off...so did my husband. I would try the Audio tapes. I did and they helped a little. Not as much as I would have liked. I just ended them on the 1st of January. I'm think I will start listining to it again in a few months. I'm not giving up!! Good luck!
