After much deliberation
And talking with my doctor and psychiatrist
I’ve decided to try getting off the Paxil again
Although the first time didn’t go so well
I both want and need to do this
I’ve made a list of reasons why I need to do it
I won’t bore you with the details
I’m gonna try again
Differently
I’ll be tapering by 10mg a week
With the possibility of taking up to 4-5 Ativan a day if necessary
While part of me thinks this would be easy if I take all the Ativan
I know that it’ll be one more thing to wean myself from
So for now
They will stay be on my side
There if I need them
I’m trying a few other things
Like trying to be active and busier with other things
Physically and mentally
I’m also trying to go into this with a different mindset
I’m trying to remind myself this time around that I’ve faced many many challenges in my life
Some uncomfortable
Unpleasant
Painful
And I’ve survived
I hope one day this will be another thing I can add to my list of things that I survived
Wish me luck 🤞
Fingers crossed you can do it. Slowly goes k?

Sounds like you’re prepared and have a plan of coming off, and as you’ve say you’ve faced plenty of sh*t in the past so you can survive this too. You’ve got this. Wishing you the best with it, keep us posted on how you’re doing! xx
