First decrease the dose of etizolam to 0.25 for a week and then if you do not see any withdrawal symptoms can stop it completely or further decrease the dose for one week and then stop it. Once you stop etizolam without any withdrawal symptoms then you can decrease doses of paroxetine same way as etizolam and stop it completely. Please note few patients may require more slow withdrawal of drugs and if you see any withdrawal symptoms, consult your treating psychiatrist for other options. All the best.
