Off of Paxil for 6 days...LEXAPRO ANYONE?

Posted by peterjarvis on October 10, 2003, at 19:26:47

Hello, I have weaned myself off of Paxil for the past 2 weeks, and haven't touched it for 6 days. I've had terrible withdrawal, even though I'd only taken it for 6 weeks (the side effects never stopped so I thought I'd get off of it).

Now I'm starting to feel better and have started Lexapro as of today. I'm starting on 5 mg, then going up to 10mg after 8 days on 5. Does anyone have advice for good times to take the medication? I know Paxil made me very tired and lethargic, so I'm thinking Lexapro may do the same. Also, does anyone know how long it takes to kick in? I guess any general info on Lexapro (real consumer feedback, not the bull$hit the drug company feeds you) would be much appreciated. I'm taking it for PTSD and anxiety disorder. THANKS!!
