Thanks for the time you took posting. I actually took 2.5mg Lex about noon and after a few days will take 5mg to see what happens. At least if the Lex doesn't work for me I know it won't be to difficult for me to just stop taking as it would be with the Paxil, which luckily wasn't to bad but I definitly felt spun for a few days after discontinuing it. I know it's trial and error but that 6 week trial period can seem like forever can't it! Although I only took 2.5mg Lex, I can feel the med but no nausea and tiredness at all where as before starting with 10mg I was anxious and nauseated. In my research I did find this graph interesting. Look at the effectiveness of Lex at 5mg vs 10mg. 5mg better response than 10mg, then back up when increased to 20mg.
