Hi I just started taking Effexor XR today.
I have been on Paxil at 30 mg PRN for a little over a year now.
I have zero sex drive and I have gained TONS of weight and the paxil is not enough for my depression. Great for the anxiety and paranoia.
I was told by my Dr. that I was to do a taper method of 1/2 tab per 1 week for 3 weeks, along with taking the effexor.
I would much rather stop taking the paxil all together.
Should I continue both med. or can I safely stop taking the paxil today?
I have not noticed any side effects as of yet but it is only the first day.
Thanks so much Tamlee.
