I have been switching back and forth between SSRIs over the past few months with no ill effects. That is a very small dose of Paxil, besides.

All of the SSRIs have similar half-lives, except for Prozac. I have read that some people have had problems switching from Prozac to other SSRIs too fast. There should not be a problem going the other direction, from another SSRI to Prozac. You should also be safe switching between any of the other meds, with a brief or no washout.
