Quitting Paxil Success Stories: How Did They Do It?

One key factor is a slow and steady taper. Rushing the process can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms. So, following the doctor's advice on dosage reduction is crucial.

Well, some people did it by slowly tapering their dosage. They would reduce the amount they took each day until they were no longer using kratom at all.

Some people find success in quitting hydrocodone by replacing it with healthier habits. For example, a man started going to the gym every day. He said the endorphins from exercise helped him deal with the cravings. He also attended support group meetings where he could share his experiences with others who were in the same situation. These two things combined really helped him get off hydrocodone for good.

Some people quit cannabis by finding new hobbies. For example, one person started painting and got so into it that he forgot about using cannabis. It became his new passion and filled the void that cannabis used to occupy.

Many people who successfully quit chewing tobacco used substitution methods. For example, some replaced it with sunflower seeds or mints. This gives the mouth something to do. It helps with the oral fixation that chewing tobacco provides.

Well, a lot of people who succeed in quitting cold turkey have strong motivation. For example, some do it for their health. They know that alcohol is harming their liver or other organs, so they just stop. Others do it for their families. They see how their drinking is affecting their loved ones. Once they decide, they find ways to cope with the cravings. Some exercise a lot, like running or cycling. This helps them release endorphins which make them feel good and distracts them from wanting alcohol.

Some people overcame the challenges by having a strong support system. Their family and friends were there for them, which made a huge difference. For example, they provided motivation during tough times.

I successfully quit Effexor. I tapered off very slowly under my doctor's guidance. I reduced my dose by a very small amount every few weeks. I also focused on a healthy lifestyle, like regular exercise which helped with the mood swings during the process.

To deal with the withdrawal from Paxil, I started a new hobby. I took up painting, which distracted me from the discomfort. I also kept a journal to document how I was feeling each day. This helped me to notice any patterns in my symptoms and adjust accordingly. I was very patient with myself throughout the process.

One success story is that of my friend. He was on Lexapro for a while. When he decided to quit, he worked closely with his doctor. They tapered the dosage gradually. He had some minor withdrawal symptoms like mild dizziness at first, but with proper diet, exercise and lots of rest, he overcame them. Now he feels great and more like his old self without the need for the medication.
