> > > Today is the first day of my Dr weining me off of Effexor and onto Lexapro. I take 1/2 my dose of Effexor and 1/2 the dose of Lexapro for 1 week. I will let you know how it goes.
> > Hi Trudy. Lexapro is one of the more effective SSRI antidepressants. Both Effexor and Lexapro make good first choices in my opinion. I would just note that a significant number of people develop anxiety after they have been taking Lexapro for 2 weeks. It then disappears within a week for most people.
> WOW thanks for letting me know that. I am just really hoping it has less side effects and that I dont get withdrawls from the Effexor.Yes, I hope for you the same thing. Please post your experiences as you go along so that others can learn from you. I am particularly interested to know how well your doctor's cross-over strategy works to prevent Effexor withdrawals.
