> Hi everyone..

> I have really bad GAD and panic attacks. I was on paxil CR 25 for about a little over a year and it worked very well however the past month or so it stopped working. My doc put me on Lexapro 10 mg and I am currently on my 6th day. He had me one day just stop the paxil and replace it with the Lexapro. SO far I can tell that I havent been panicking as much.. however I have this horrible side affect of shaking. I cant stop shaking no matter what. It really sucks. Has anyone else experienced this? Can I expect it to go away with time? It feels like the inside of my body is shaking as well, however at most of the times you can see my hands shaking.
> On a lighter note I just want to say thank you to everyone on this board who has posted there personal stories because it really does give one peace of mind which the doctors cant give.
> Please anyone with info on the whole shaking thing please write!!!!!

> SCREWYOUANXIETYDon't worry. You are probably experiencing the brain shudedrs from going off paxil. It should end soon.
