I have been going over some posts and find that a lot of people stop medications cold turkey. Some medications can cause moderate to severe withdrawl symptoms. I made the big mistake of stopping Paxil cold turkey the other year and I ended up in the hospital from severe withdrawl sypmtoms. There are some meds out there that your body can begin to rely upon on, such as Paxil. Ifyou stop the Paxil cold turkey you will go through withdrawl. The higher the dose, the more prone to severe withdrawl symptoms. Please check with your pharmacist and/or doctor before stopping any medications. You may need to 'wheen' yourself off the meds before stopping completely.


I work in health and safety and have seen too many people getting sick from stopping meds cold turkey. Take those safety precautions to avoid getting ill.


Wishing all of you a safe week,...Sparky
