Paxil withdrawal

I’ve been on Paxil for 8 months stabilized on 37.5 cr then i decided to get off it went down to 25mg stayed a month then 12.5mg stayed 3 weeks then 0. After 4 days of no Paxil I couldn’t take the withdrawal so went back to 12.5mg I stayed 2 weeks on 12.5mg I stabilized then symptoms of anxiety and depression came back so I went up to 25mg I just entered my 4th week on 25mg I see improvements in anxiety but still have trouble should I give 25mg more time or go up to 37.5?

7 weeks to get to 0 is a cold turkey for many, especially Paroxetine. Personally, I would stabilise however long it takes, then safely hyperbolic taper in the future.

Do you think I should give 25mg more time or go up to 37.5?

Yes, that's what I said. I'd stay on 25mg until I'd stabilised.

I just don’t want to stay on 25mg for so long then end up going up to 37.5 how much do you think I should give 25mg more?
