Lexapro paxil vs. ErryDate: Monday, 12 April 2004, at 6:29 p.m. I simply stopped taking 10mg of Paxil one day and started taking 5 mg of Lexapro. I didn't notice much in the way of withdrawal, that I can remember. I've switched like this between Paxil, Celexa and Lexapro, a few times and never felt much. Then again, I have a bottle of Xanax if I need it, so I guess that makes me a little more reckless;0 Jerry > Hi Aspensmommy. I suggest that you keep a > backup plan handy.

Sorder (GAD) In clinical studies of people taking 10 mg a day of Lexapro for GAD, the number of people who stopped taking Lexapro due to side effects was low.5,6*† A head-to-head trial was conducted to compare Lexapro and Paxil ® (paroxetine HCL) in the treatment of GAD. In this trial, patients taking Lexapro and patients taking Paxil® experienced improvement of their GAD symptoms. However, fewer patients stopped taking Lexapro due to side effects as compared to patients taking Paxil® (7% for Lexapro vs 23% for Paxil®).7 In addition, in this trial, clinically significant weight gain occurred less often in patients treated with Lexapro over 24 weeks (8% for Lexapro vs 18% for Paxil®).7 References: 1.
