Well, not transitioning precisely, because I've been off of Effexor for several months. It seemed to work pretty well @ the time, although I had the famous terrible w/drawal symptoms.
I have gotten emotionally really bad in the last few weeks/months & want to start on something again. One doctor suggested Lexapro, saying it was similar to Effexor, while another said I should stick w/what I "know works."
Has anyone out there gone from Effexor (XR) to Lexapro, or simply taken Lexapro & have anything to say about their experience on it?
Oh yeah, it might seem like a minor thing, but Lexapro samples are readily available to me now, whereas I will have to either wait for or pay for (@ full cost) the Effexor. Actually, I'm a grad student not currently working, so that's kind of a big factor @ the moment.
Thanks!
