> Never taken Paxil CR (but regular Paxil long time ago). Right now I have a lot of anxiety and thinking of going to Paxil CR or Lexapro. I know both can cause weight gain, and sexual dysfunction, but apparently Lex was the lesser of two evils.

I think Paxil has a better track record for treating anxiety. It is worse with regard to weight-gain and sexual dysfunction. If you decide to go with Lexapro, be aware that it sometimes produces an increase in anxiety at about the two week mark, but this usually disappears soon thereafter.
