Hello doctors,
I am on paxonil 25 for 2 months and don't want to continue how to taper off this med properly without having withdrawal symptoms?

Question

Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Paxonil 25 mg tablet is a medicine that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssri) group. It is used for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd), panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders. There may not be any withdrawal symptoms if you stop it. Still talk to your psychiatrist before quitting it because your doctor could have other opinions. I suggest telephonic counseling and online psychotherapy for you. You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
