This has been a serious concern for me as I "came off" 2 types of SSRi's. Paxil being public enemy #1. You may recall they got sued for not publishing the effects of withdrawal even though they claimed "non-habit forming".
Of course they would never compare themselves say to heroin, no, they called it "Discontinuation Syndrome" hahhaha yeah right...
I've started and stopped Paxil a number of times. I did have to taper down the dosage, but the only physical symptom I experienced was something that felt like a mild electrical shock going through my body. It really wasn't uncomfortable. However, everyone reacts differently, but SSRI's aren't addictive in the sense that a person craves the drug once they stop taking their dose.
