Hi, I'm GrandmaB

June 10, 2026

I’ve been on Paxil for 30 years. I’ve tried to wean off several times over the years, but without success. I joined taper community to find a doctor who understands SSRI withdrawal and can help me stabilize and feel better.

Thank you for the welcome, Catina. I did use Find a Provider, but there aren’t any on the list in my state. I also Googled deprescribing psychiatrists in my area, and a few possibilities came up.
