[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 203157, member: 1550"] Paxil is one of the hardest drugs to withdraw from. I take it and I didn't know about the withdrawals then (I don't think anyone did). If there are recent changes in husband's behavior, I'd think it was from the Paxil. You may want to read up on the withdrawal syndrome of Paxil--it is worse than all antidepressants except Effexor and I was told that it harder to withdraw from than Valium, so I'd o UBER slow and expect much worse behavior for a while. Is there a Seroquel level blood test that your doctor can take to verify that your son actually needs that much medication? I'm always skeptical because I have personally been overmedicated--and given more medications when I was actually having bad reactions to t he medications I was taking--I needed less not more. So I question, question, question and take it slow with medications. Just a suggestion. Here's a blurb on Paxil withdrawal. I hope she hasn't been on it for too long. At my age, and with the fifteen years I've taken it, I'm really glad it still works because I'm afraid to withdraw from it. I would never go off of it entirely because I wouldn't be able to handle the withdrawals. The severity of some people and Paxil withdrawal makes you sometimes think they need it when they are simply experiencing bad withdrawals.
