> Today is the first day of my Dr weining me off of Effexor and onto Lexapro. I take 1/2 my dose of Effexor and 1/2 the dose of Lexapro for 1 week. I will let you know how it goes.

> TrudyHi Trudy. Lexapro is one of the more effective SSRI antidepressants. Both Effexor and Lexapro make good first choices in my opinion. I would just note that a significant number of people develop anxiety after they have been taking Lexapro for 2 weeks. It then disappears within a week for most people.
Good luck!
