Switching from Lexapro to Paxil: My Experience

I recently switched from Lexapro to Paroxetine (Paxil) and wanted to share my results... I have improved mood but I'm also very tired and very hungry even after eating. I also have dry mouth, difficulty focusing, feeling hot even in cool weather, severe fatigue. I could sleep all day. I've been on 20mg Paxil for about a week and before that was on 10mg for probably 4 weeks.

I can really understand this. I found this happened to me too. I had been on it before, but I had stopped. It does reduce that, and I think the pay off is the focusing issue. I had that a lot, but it's less now. I've been on it this time for about 6 weeks I think.

I’ve been on it for over a year and I have all of those symptoms as well. It keeps my mood in balance most of the time so I’m dealing with it for now.
