I didn't think it was possible to just switch over just like that but I thought what the heck, I need a change and it's now or never. I actually did not think it would work.
It's been a week of no Paxil and 20mg. Prozac. My plan is to stick with it for a couple of months and see how it goes. Maybe go off Prozac and see where I'm at without any AD.

Laney so far how's it going? I'm cutting down and off all mine too. Keep small dose of benzos? I'm surprised to hear this but glad to hear you made the switch Phillipa

Prozac is more stimulating than paxil....paxil can have a sedative mind fog effeects in some people. Stick with prozac and maybe increase the dose to 40mg....it is a vary good AD....
i don't think going off antidperessants is good because the nerons lose the effect of it and it can have slight withdrawl symptoms...

I'm still on the 1/2mg. klonopin daily (for now). Plan to taper that next. In no big hurry.
I really didn't think the switch would work. Honestly I would have done it years ago if I thought it were actually possible.
Just lots of fatigue right now. Lots of extra sleeping. That's about it.
Gonna stay on the prozac and see what happens....
Very happy about this though!!!!
