Hi, I'm MLfree

August 31, 2026··

Hi, I’m MLfree, from France. I’m currently tapering paroxetine and holding oxazepam at my current dose. I’ve been struggling with these medications and their effects for far too long, and tapering has not been easy. I’m here to learn from others, find practical and reliable tapering guidance, and hopefully connect with a knowledgeable prescriber. My goal is simple: to come off these medications as safely as possible and, eventually, be free of them.

Paxil — 16.8 — 1-3years — actively tapering | without clinician
