Hey Jen...I was taking Paxil 10mgs from 30mgs but I was weened to the 10 for a about 3 years but I also did well on the paxil but the weight gain was bad 45lbs...but it worked really really good...SO anyway then when I started to get really stressed again and have panic attacks so decided well I didnt decide my dr decided for me to try lexapro so he just had me take the paxil one night and the lex the next no more decrease...It was not too bad the depression goes away first but I did have a lot of anxiety in the beginning it sure does take a while and I'm still struggling to increase to 15mg but i have a terrible phobia of meds so that takes time..I hope that you have good luck with it but just take time and you have come to the right place for support I wouldve never made it without these wonderful wonderful people..we are also in a more social site which is Redirected Lexaproers you might want to come on over and check it out..It is more for when you dont want to talk about the direct meds but how you are feeling...SO take care and hope you do well...Mystic
