Is he/she preparing you for a shift to paxil from lexapro--it would not be unusual to gradually taper the original drug (or keep it constant for a short period)while introducing the new drug (paxil)--5 mg would generally be the initial dosage if you were being switched to paxil from another ssri--5mg is almost subtherapeutic. Otherwise--it would be unusual to give two ssris (but who knows--I am sure stranger things have happened and it may even work)
