Hi @Rebecca18, welcome to Taper Community!
Congrats for getting so far! Yes, Paroxetine can get very tricky once you get under 5 mg. My close friend is tapering it and she can only taper by very small amounts with long hold periods in between. The greatest changes in the brain happen at very small doses, that's why it gets so difficult the closer you get to 0.
Don't lose hope though, you just need to taper a bit more slowly. Slower is faster!
If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful information and tips.
We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey!
