Myself I tapered Paroxetine without any pill cutters or special techniques and had no physical problems... But I did have something like a manic episode that lasted for about six months, had a psychogenic fever, lost more than 30 pounds in a few months (I was working out like a "maniac" and eating a mostly liquid diet at times to take stress off my TMJ) and was very high functioning in most respects despite being under the influence of a system of delusions.
