I'm doing the same thing -- overlapping lexapro and paxil as I make the switchover from lexapro to paxil. I've gone from 12.5 mg lexapro to 10 mg lexapro with 5 mg paxil. This small change brought my anxiety level back to normal within 48 hours and for the past 3 weeks I have been functioning REALLY well with these dosages. My doctor's and my goal was to get off the lexapro while going up on the paxil, but this combo is working so well for me at the moment that I'm going to ask her at my appointment today if I can keep things as they are at least for a while. My husband asked me to do the same thing. He likes how well I'm feeling and functioning right now!!! I'll let you know what my doctor says, but I have a feeling she'll say it's fine. ~~Autumn~~
