Problem is that for about a 4 or 5 hour period in the middle of the day my brain is so foggy. My eyes feel super heavy and I don't feel with it. Is my dosage to high on the Lex, my doctor started me at 10, not the usual 5? Should I just take it at night? I've also been weening myself off of Paxil (15mg). I'm currently at 5mg. I know this could all be withdrawal, but have any of you had this s/e starting Lexapro?

Hi Pharmrep,
Thanks for the advice, I do plan on sticking with Lexapro, I just didn't know where the fogginess was coming from. Hopefully I can get off this Paxil and let Lex do it's work.
