Can you stop taking 20mg of lexapro and start taking 200mg of zoloft with no side effects?
Ask your doctor.
You are considering taking Paxil or zoloft for anxiety which is better?
I have not tried Paxil but I know from experience with Lexapro, is that it works very well. Trying to come off of it is the challenge. I got extreme dizziness and nausea. Although, that lasted a few weeks then it surpassed and I'm back to normal. Lexapro worked great for me and I strongly recomment it.
How do you stop Wellbutrin XL and start Lexapro?
I recently switched from Cymbalta to Welbutrin. Cymbalta is similar to Lexapro. I started the transition by halving my Cymbalta dose while starting Welbutrin. This went on for a week, then I discontinued the Cymbalta and took only Welbutrin. Of course, the best answer to this question is to follow your doctor's orders.

My doctor told me to take Aleve with Lexapro. I hated the Lexapro though, and quit after two days. It made me feel absolutely horrible. A lot of people do not experience all of the side effects I did though.

What happens if you completely stop taking Lexapro overnight?
I wouldn't do that if I were you. You need to wean yourself off of Lexapro slowly and even then you are going to get some withdrawl symptoms, including dizziness and nausea. That's what happened to me when I went off Lexapro over a two week period. From what I understand the withdrawl can sometimes be worse than what I had. I would consult with your doctor and come up with a plan for you to get off. If you need to go back on something I would stay away from Lexapro - I have been on several antidepressants and that was the worse one to stop!
