Re: Need Advice: Switching from Effexor to Paxil

In reply to Need Advice: Switching from Effexor to Paxil, posted by MDR on March 11, 2002, at 10:11:44

Being only at 75mg a day, I'm pretty sure you can handle switching right over to Paxil. Since it's a SSRI you shouldn't have any withdrawl symtoms. The reson I say this is because I was on 150mg (effexor) a day. I quit cold turkey and starting having HORRIBLE HORRIBLE withdrawl symtoms. I finally couldn't take it and popped some zoloft and the symptoms sudsided.

> I am currently on 75m./day of Effexor for GAD and moderate OCD -- been on it for two weeks. My doctor is talking about moving me to Paxil instead of Effexor and feels I can just stop cold turkey on the Effexor on one day and start taking Paxil the next day. Do I need to be tapered off the Effexor for awhile before taking the Paxil?
