I believe the reason for the variation in discontinuation symptoms between different SSRIs is that half-life of Paxil (paroxetine) is shorter (24h) than that of some of the other drugs in the group such as Prozac (fluoxetine) (2-4 days, and a metabolite is 1-2 weeks.

>The evidence suggests that there's no significant relationship between SSRI use and suicide risk except for young people, for whom SSRIs may actually increase the risk of suicidal behaviours and self-harm.
The paper says: "However, in children and adolescents, there appears to be a bit of increased risk of suicidal ideations and attempts, but not of completed suicides."
