Hey there,
I just started taking Lex two weeks ago. I tried Paxil a few years ago and it was like having Alzheimers.
My side effects have been very minor. SE are actually a tremendous improvement. I am a bit fatiqued, however I'm dealing with reality much better. I have an understanding that I'm powerless over others, even those close to me. I just need to start focusing my energies on myself now.
Also, I think a biggy for you. I lost 11lbs. It may have been because I was so freaked out by the SEs I had read about.
Good Luck! My suggestion would be to give it a try. Change it if the SEs are too much for you to deal with. They say it takes anywhere between 1 and 7 weeks to take full effect, and, that the SEs somewhat subside with many.
