We did have my son on Paxil CR 25mg and he was so out of it he was overmedicated. We lowered it to 12.5mg and it was a little better but not much. We changed to the regular Paxil 10mg then we went to 5mg but his anxiety started to come back so we went back to the 10mg. He went from an honors student last year to barely getting C's and low B's. It's been frustrating for all of us. He is doing better on the 10mg concentration wise but he is not as sharp as he was without the drugs. We have no choice though for now because he really gets anxious and panics. The doctor thought that the Lexapro, because it has fewer side effects might help with the concentration and memory side effects of paxil. I just am afraid to rock the boat at this point because he has a lot of school activities coming up that he won't be able to do if he is panicky. Just not sure if we should change and how it will effect him. We may wait till the summer but if his grades don't get better we may need to change now. Your thoughts on this would help. Thanks, Linda
