Re: Emotionally Flat on Paxil - is Lexapro Better?

I was on Paxil (20mg) for 7 years, and can definitly say that Lexapro does not dull your emotions nearly as much. Regarding the issue of lack of motivation, I think there may be something to that.

However, I was emotionally flat on Paxil for so long and after getting off that crap (with the help of lexapro), I can feel my emotions clearly. It did increase my agitation and anxiety which sucks.

Of course this is most likely different for everyone, and also depends on the dosage you are taking of the drug. Personally, I am taking 10mg Lexapro daily.

I've heard nightmare stories about Effexor, and have had a bad experience with Zoloft. I tried Wellbutrin, but that stuff didn't do anything for me at all. I haven't heard of Cymbalta- anyone care to share their experiences w/that one?
