Could it be SSRI syndrome?

Posted by celticmom on December 13, 2004, at 7:07:23

I posted a couple of days ago about by DH's symptoms 5 weeks after switching from Paxil to Lexapro. He started getting headaches, chills, night sweats and felt flu like overall.
His pdoc said it wouldn't be discontinuation syndrome because it would have happened right away, but after reading a post above, I'm not so sure.
Is it possible that DH could be experiencing SSRI syndrome after switching 6 weeks ago? He went from 40 mg of Paxil to 20 mg of Lexapro and has currently been increase to 25mg Lexapro.
How long will it last if this is what he is experiencing?
