In reply to Emotionally Flat on Paxil - is Lexapro Better?????, posted by love bites again on September 18, 2004, at 3:56:26
I went to Lexapro from Paxil and for me it was a huge mistake. Lexapro is good for depression, but INCREASED my social and general anxiety. If you are taking Paxil only for depression, it may be worth the switch but Lexapro does not do much at all for anxiety. I gave Lexapro 16 weeks which I think is a fair evaluation and that the anxiety I was experiencing was not an initial start up side effect.
The only reason I tried Lexapro was because it was "new" and "hyped up" which was a big mistake.
