Thanks to the efforts of Emily Silbert and the mysterious J.B. and J.R.,  we now have the beginnings of a sound bibliography on the subject of withdrawal.

Is there a serotonergic withdrawal syndrome?

Paroxetine (Paxil) "We have received 78 reports of symptoms occurring on withdrawal of paroxetine, including dizziness, sweating, nausea, insomnia, tremor and confusion. Such reactions have been reported more often with paroxetine than with other SSRIs. Reactions tended to start 1-4 days after stopping paroxetine and in several patients resolved on re-instating treatment. Paroxetine should not normally be discontinued abruptly".
