Joan.... Regarding your question asking in anyone else on the List has had any experience with taking Paxil. I was advised to take 1/2 of a 20 mg. Paxil immediately after having my unilateral pallidotomy in October of 1994.and performed by Loma Linda University's Dr. Robert Iacono, neurosurgeon and pain specialist. Also taking part in my surgery was Dr. Gray Heit of Stanford's Universities school of'''';;; medicine who was Loma Linda on a fellowship. . Do keep \in mind that there could be really b ad side effects if one goes off .cold turkey I was told the Paxil was for Seratonin reuptake and take it to this day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
