Can I just stop the Paxil CR one day and start the Lexapro the next? And, if I am stopping one and starting another, do I need to worry about Paxil withdrawals?
Thanks.

That's how my pdocs have always done it. Didn't yours say? Love Phillipa

Since both drugs have about a 24 hours halflife, you can switch straight across. You never know what to expect in a transition so you'll just have to feel it out. I wish for it go smoothly for you.

Thanks so much, Phillipa and blueberry! I hope I have a smooth transition and that I respond well to Lexapro. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
