news item: Paxil Blocks Tamoxifen Lowers Survival Odds Against Breast Cancer - Breast Cancer



"Patients taking Paxil and tamoxifen should talk with their doctors about changing their antidepressant, Juurlink said. But he advised against abruptly discontinuing Paxil.
"There is a very real danger to stopping Paxil suddenly. There is a well-described withdrawal syndrome and the risk of depression becoming more severe," he said.
In addition, any transition to another antidepressant should be done gradually over several weeks, he said."
