Hi, I'm Anastasia

September 7, 2026··
I was on Paxil for ten years before taking my last dose on May 6, 2025. As I continue to withdrawal from Paxil, I want to offer help to others seeking support. I also am seeking support from others, too.

Welcome, Anastasia. Ten years on Paxil is a long stretch, and making it to your last dose is a real milestone. How have the withdrawal waves been treating you lately? Worth logging check ins under My Taper as you go, it helps you spot patterns and gives you something concrete to show your prescriber if things get rocky. And since you came here wanting to help others, please jump in on people's posts and share what you've learned, someone three months behind you needs exactly what you're carrying now.
