On 2nd sept 2011 i finished with my 2 months regular schedule of taking the tablet after that I was taking it alternatively till today however I think I am developing withdrawal symptoms of this tablet. May I know what are the withdrawal symptoms of this medicine ?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Elimination half life of paroxetine is 21 to 26 hours and in that case, if you stop it immediately, it would take 4 to 5 days to come out of body. You have anxiety disorder and current symptoms, could be due to relapse rather than withdrawal. In that case, you should consult your psychiatrist and restarting it. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
