I have been taking paxil for more than 10 years. Years ago I wanted to stop taking it but was discouraged to do so by my G.P. and various psychiatrists I had visited over the years.At one time I was taking as much as 60mg/day. I have been taking 20mg/day now for a couple of years. After many lifestyle changes,diet,getting more informed on coping tools and taking naturally occuring "anti-depressant" foods, I am ready to make the leap to living a Paxil free life. But the driving force behind my decision is that I was recently married and we are planning a family.I have heard and read that women taking Paxil during pregnancy caused thier children to be born with heart defects.But I have not seen any sites or any information about a link between men who take Paxil and any birth defects in thier children. Can somebody steer me in the right direction on getting this kind of information?
