In reply to Anyone switched to Lexapro? « ggrrl, posted by Dr. Bob on June 11, 2002, at 7:52:48
My 13 year old son has been on Paxil 10mg since August, 2002 for severe anxiety and panic disorder. His concentration and memory seems to be suffering because of it. The doctor is suggesting changing him to Lexapro. I'm worried that he will have a problem with the new medication until he gets used to it and we can't afford to let him miss anymore school right now. Does the change in medication usually go smoothly or is there a week or 2 transition to get used to it. Anyone have any first hand knowledge on this or any suggestions. We are so worried about changing. He really struggled at first until we got the paxil dosage right with severe tiredness and paranoia. We are just not sure what to do at this point. Thanks for listening. Linda
