Hi...
Seems to me that you may be going though paxil withdrawl. I had a friend that switched from paxil to lexapro and was talking about similar side effects that you experienced. Turns out it was withdrawl from Paxil and had nothing to do with lexapro.
You may want to taper off the Paxil really slowly as you begin to add the Lex. My friend was on it for years and was having to cut her pill in to tiny pieces to help with the withdrawl.
Lexapro has been pretty good for me I have been on 10mg for about 6 and 1/2 weeks. I hear it really kicks in at week 8 and 9 so heres hoping.
Good luck, God Bless and use lots of support.
Lexy
