I've had my last dose of Paxil a full month ago and before

why did you stop your meds?

>>17580412
Because we decided that I don't need them anymore with my psychiatrist.

>>17580459

. Why do you think so? Aren't those normal withdrawal symptoms?
My psychiatrist told me that it should get better soon.
I mean what the fuck, it would feel like a fucking failure to go back on those drugs.

>>17580504
if you feel better on the drug, how is it a failure?
Also if you need SSRI because your brain doesn't produce enough then what has changed that makes you able to stop?

Dude I'd been taking it for 8 years, I want to live like normal people, without crutch pills. It's not only about a chemical imbalance, there's also thought patterns involved etc., and it isn't said that you have to fucking stay on those drugs forever.
If my psychiatrist agrees that I could get off them at last then surely she knows what she's saying? My symptoms now don't even feel like OCD, it's more just general neuroticism and feeling down, that's why I hope it's withdrawal.

Well if you feel better then good for you. Paroxetine has a relatively short half-life and the longest washout time for any SSRI is 5 weeks (fluoxetine) so any withdrawal symptoms should be waning now.
