has anyone tried lexapro coupled with paxil?
i started lexapro 10mg for three weeks then rose to 20mg now for app. three weeks.
original diagnosis was depression. it has helped somewhat, but not as much as paxil helped me. got off paxil b/c weight gain. no apparent weight gain from lexapro but dont feel as good as w/ paxil. paxil also helped w/ anxiety, not so much w/ lexapro.
i,m deliberating with maybe stepping down my lexapro to 10mg with a little paxil. i was taking 30-40mg of paxil/day w/ the weight gain. im thinking maybe the 12.5 mg tabs of paxil with lexapro may be better than 20mg of lex alone w/o the weightgain. i dont know if 12.5 mg of pax will make gain weight like the 30-40mg did.
anyone heard of anyone taking this combo? safely? effectively? thanx!!!!!
