Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do not stop taking Paroxetine, even when you feel better. Stopping Paroxetine abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, feeling dizzy, vomiting, nightmares, headache. I suggest to stop it gradually with the continuous consultation of your doctor.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
