Hi
I went straight onto paxil while coming off celexa
I've tried all SSri's except luvox . Paxil so far is the only med that has quietned my mind and stopped wiered behaviour but it makes me sleepy and somewhat dumb..but I'd rather have a quiet head.
Effexor was a great drug but only sometimes-
I felt euphoric for a while then depressed..then it stopped doing anything.
I always started a new SSRI to wean off another..my brains pretty messed up with constant change.
I think some people need more than one med cause of partial response . Myself , paxil is good for ocd , neurontin for anxiety/irritability just need to find something for my depression.
Maybe you could try starting low dose paxil while reducing effexor?
