[Rosebud]

When you withdraw from Aropax (Paxil) and depression comes back, can you tell if it is withdrawal or just the depression returning

Hi Rosebud

 

Welcome to the forums here, generally, if you withdraw too fast and you feel depression coming back, it most likely is withdrawal, but this is where it gets tricky to know the difference. Quite often if you reinstate the drug, or up dose a little bit, if the depression clears quite rapidly, it most likely is withdrawal. The best way to mitigate against this happening is to taper really slowly using the 10% method, here's a link to a discussion in the tapering forum about tapering Paxil:

Perhaps if you could tell us more about yourself and your withdrawal we'll be able to help you more, here's a link to putting a withdrawal history in your signature:
