hello,
i am under the impression that 10 mg. lexapro is basically the same as taking 20 mg. paxil as far as anxiety control and antidepressant relief.
am i under the correct assumption here? i recently made the switch from paxil to lex and feel they are pretty much the same just paxil may have left me more unmotivated and chilled out and lex seems to be more stimulating?ALSO!!!! does anyone know how to counter the non ejaculatory side effect from these ssri's,, i never have remained on a theraputic dose for more than a few weeks because sexually i am totally numbed by these things and that is totally unacceptable to me.
as bad as depression!
pleeeeeez any answers???thanx in advance

That's what I'm doing right now. Also because it seems like the AD effect of zoloft seems to be pooping out on me
