Hi Ibrahim, Welcome to the community. Well done on figureing out the check in function. That jump from 7mg to zero is a significant one; even at low doses, paroxetine is one of the harder ones to stop because it leaves your system so fast. A month in can actually be one of the roughest points, so what you're feeling makes complete sense. Can I ask, what symptoms are hitting you hardest right now?
