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.
