My withdrawal from Paxil was going quite well until I crossed under 5 mg. I am on a very slow taper, about 1 mg every 2 to 3 weeks. I started on Allegra for various allergies coincident with the decrease below 5 mg. Now I am having recurring bouts of severe anxiety. I always avoided medications not wanting to "mix" them with Paxil. So the question is would medications like Allegra cause such a dramatic increase in anxiety? BTW, I am taking Xanax (alprazolam) 1.5 mg per day. I am experiencing the usual zaps, etc., which also increased when I went below 5 mg of Paxil. Any thoughts or references would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to avoid having to deal with withdrawal vs. recurrence question again. This is my 5th attempt to discontinue Paxil over the last 3 years.
