Request to Change Anxiety Medication

2025-06-29 10:03:05
Hello Doctor, I’ve been taking Paxitor 12.5 for the past 5 months for anxiety, but I experienced strong withdrawal symptoms when I tried to stop it. Even after restarting it 7 days ago, I still feel mild, unclear headaches. Could you please suggest a substitute with lower dependency and easier tapering?
