To safely stop paroxetine CR, propranolol, and tofisopam, you must consult your prescribing doctor. Stopping these medications abruptly can lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, such as rebound anxiety or a rapid heart rate. Your doctor will design a gradual, step-by-step tapering schedule tailored for you, typically reducing one medication at a time over several weeks. Paroxetine and propranolol, in particular, require a very slow dose reduction to ensure your body adjusts safely. Please do not change your dosage on your own. Your physician will guide you through this process smoothly and safely.

I am currently taking Paxep CR 25 in the morning and Relidep Plus at night for anxiety and depression, but I still wake up with morning nervousness and headaches. What should I do regarding my medication?

It is quite common to experience symptoms like morning nervousness or headaches when treating anxiety. Your morning symptoms might be due to your body processing your nighttime medication (amitriptyline and chlordiazepoxide) or a need to fine-tune your morning dose of Paxep CR 25 (paroxetine). Headaches can sometimes be a temporary side effect or related to sleep patterns. Please do not stop or alter your medication doses on your own, as sudden changes can worsen symptoms. I highly recommend consulting your doctor. They can safely adjust your dosage, change the timing, or explore other options to ensure you start your day feeling comfortable and headache-free.
