Those last drops can really be the toughest. I hope you find some relief with the increased dose ... there's no rush to get off, let your body be your guide.

Bump in the road Green! Stay at 4mg and consider a 1mg wean for the next one!

Good decision, Greenslade. I made a couple of adjustments at the low doses. It's important that we listen to our bodies.

It's possible going to 4mgs may not do it for you. Go higher if you need to - maybe 7.5 or even 10, and stay there until you feel completely well! Once things ease up for you, try going the liquid paxil route and wean by 1mg at a time - staying there for a month at least before you try another wean.

You will get there greenslade, listening to your body is the best way to reach your goal!

Slow and steady wins the race.
