>I'm in the process of switching from Paxil to Lexapro also. I just stopped Paxil and then went straight to Lexapro...but I had horrible withdrawal effects, so after 3 days of Lexapro, I'm back on Paxil. Another poster told me to take Lexapro (10) and then also take the Paxil at the same time, but taper down the Paxil over a few weeks. I think that's the best idea...my doctor didn't think I would feel any withdrawal since they're both SSRI's, but I sure as hell did!!!
