In reply to Paxil vs. Lexapro, posted by JLGMMG on June 5, 2003, at 14:42:49
> Need some help from anyone out there! I have been on Lex for about 11 weeks, doesn't seem to be making a significant change in my anxiety at all. I have gained over 10 lbs. and have some of the normal side effects. My doc is suggesting I switch to Paxil...need some guidance on this. Not sure about switching..I don't know that much about Paxil and how it is better/worse than Lexapro. Can anyone provide their own experiences? Any help would be appreciated!
HI. I took Paxil and most recently Paxil CR and had good results vs. anxiety/dep. I have more generalized anxiety as opposed to anxiety attacks, etc., and it worked well....I was just tired of diminished libido and my dr. suggested trying Lexapro. I've been on it a little over 3 weeks and SEs have lessened and I feel pretty good on it so far. Hope that helps! Kate
