What kind of withdrawal symptoms is he having and has he been completey off for 5 months. What was he initially taking it for? 5 months seems like a long time to be having withdrawal symptoms.
Best,
Linda

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I am in the same postion. I came off sertraline over 3 months ago, after a severe adverse reaction, and am still having horrific withdrawal. I am mostly bedbound.
Has your husband tried omega 3 fish oils? They are meant to help with brain zaps, etc. also nytol..it has the same ingredient as the US benadryl which is also meant to help.
there are two websites your husband could look at..Paxil Progress and Surviving Antidepressants. They may suggest your husband goes back on a really low dose (much lower than the usual lowest dose) and slowly titrates off. They know much more than I do.
You and your husband have my deepest sympathy. The withdrawal, if you're unfortunate enough to get it, is mental torture. And five months isn't a long time.

What are the symptoms? Maybe it's not the withdrawls, but underlying mental/medical condition that is causing them
