Dr. Hart was prescribed Paxil for stressful life situation a decade ago and remains on it to this day.

His one attempt to quit Paxil met quickly with failure because of onset of withdrawal symptoms that were incompatible with Shelly’s already severe symptoms.


Dr Hart said -

Shelly started decreasing her Paxil before I did so. About two weeks after I decreased my Paxil dose from 20 mgs daily to 15 mgs daily I became much more emotional than normal. I felt as though I was on the verge of tears many times each day and sometimes cried. Because Shelly began to experience severe withdrawal symptoms and I was her caregiver, I increased my Paxil dose back to 20 mgs daily so that I could be stable to help her. It is at this time that I began to read the Paxil-related literature and visit the various Paxil-related web pages.
