From Paxil to Lexapro


20 years ago 0 17 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Thanks Rhonda, It takes 4 to 6 weeks for paxil or lexapro to work to it's full effect..... I use Ativan to calm me down enough to let Lexapro do it's job.....It appears to me that Lexapro is the right thing for me to be on at the present time.... It has been about 5wks and I'm really starting to feel the difference....

I was on Paxil for 4 yrs....I've been off from it now for 5mnths....So rather than putting me back on Paxil he is trying Lexapro because I had paxil zaps when I was exercising....Anyone out there that used to be on Paxil taking Lexapro instead.
