Paxil has a half life of 15-20 hours. That means about 5 days for your body to be clear of it. How longs was it after you stopped the meds that you had the first projection?

It was about 2 days when I had the first projection--the spontaneous one. The other one was yesteday, and it was a conscious attempt, so that was about 1 week. I picked up my prescription yesterday and took one last night, so I'm back on it now.

Did you expect that not having the meds would increase your ability to project or was it an after thought? This will help find an answer to if it was a placebo effect or actual brain chemistry.

No, I didn't have any thoughts about the connection between the meds and the ability to project. I actually hadn't been trying to make it happen for a few weeks; I had some distractions in my life, so I wasn't thinking about OBE at all. When I did project the first time, it was totally spontaneous and a complete surprise. The second time, when I was trying to do it, was astoundingly easy--I laid down, and before I even got through my usual relaxation routine to prepare for an attempt, it happened. It's almost as though I simply thought about it and - boom - it happened, just like that.

I haven't had time to make another attempt since yesterday, but I will be doing so soon. I'll post again as to whether or not I succeed. I hope, hope, hope that I don't allow the placebo effect to inhibit me. It was just way too much fun to not do it again!
