Paxil and Conception: Safe Timeframe After Discontinuation

Question
Hi,
I am currently taking 10mg of Paxil daily. I have been taking this particular medication for about a year. After tapering off completely, how long would be a safe amount of time before trying to conceive?

Thank you!

Answer
Dear Tiffany,

After speaking with your healthcare professional and deciding that this is the best tdecision for your situation, you will need to be off the medication for at least 9 full days. After 9 days, the drug will no longer be in your body.
