Paroxetine yes oder no?
I’m 34 and have been prescribed paroxetine, but I’m hesitant about starting it.
I’m supposed to take it as drops at a dose of 5 mg. My main issues are generalized anxiety disorder and premature ejaculation, and apparently it’s supposed to help with both.
My question is whether it’s really worth it. I’ve taken duloxetine before and eventually stopped it, and honestly the withdrawal wasn’t too bad in my case. But with paroxetine, I’m a bit more worried because I’ve heard the withdrawal symptoms can be more severe. I’m also not sure whether it can still be difficult even if I taper off gradually. Since it comes in drops, I could theoretically reduce the dose all the way down to 1 mg.
What have your experiences been with it, and would you recommend taking it or would you advise against it?
