I've switched from lexapro to prozac before. I just traded straight across with no taper. I couldn't really tell any difference at first. It was rather seamless. After a few days I did feel some increased mild nervousness from the prozac and the lack of lexapro...I think lexapro is better for anxiety than prozac. The switch was about 2 months ago and the prozac nervousness still continues. Darn.
I've also switched from prozac to lexapro and that was more tricky because prozac lasts a long time. I had to taper lexapro in and taper prozac out over a couple weeks.
The serzone should help buffer things. How it will combine with prozac is anyone's guess.
