Is there a serotonergic withdrawal syndrome?
Biol Psychiatry 1993;33:851-2. Mallya, White, Gunderson.

Paroxetine (Paxil) "We have received 78 reports of symptoms occurring on withdrawal of
paroxetine, including dizziness, sweating, nausea, insomnia, tremor and confusion.
Such reactions have been reported more often with paroxetine than with other SSRIs.
Reactions tended to start 1-4 days after stopping paroxetine and in several patients
resolved on re-instating treatment. Paroxetine should not normally be discontinued abruptly".
1993 Committee on Safety of Medicines & Medicines Control Agency (Great Britain)
