> Thanks for the encouragment. Why did you switch from Paxil if it was working? Is the Lex working better for you? What about side effects of Paxil vs. Lexapro?
Sorry it took me a couple of days to respond, DSL network was down 2 days. Anyway as I mentioned I was "looking for something even better," basically fell for all of the marketing that has sold so much Lexapro and doctors usually hand out the new stuff. I couldn't handle the side effects of Lex after two attempts and have been on only 150mg of Wellbutrin XL and gave my body a short break from all SSRI's to get back to square one. The Wellbutrin does not help with anxiety so today 12/5/03 have started back on 10mg Paxil and will move up if needed to 20mg after a week but will not exceed 20mg. Felt a little geared down (tired) from the initial shock to the system when first starting a medication but no nausea or anything. The good thing about Paxil for me at least is I can feel some benefits after only about a week. Good luck!
