In reply to Has anyone switched from Paxil to Celexa?, posted by Patson on August 24, 2002, at 1:03:18
Hi Patson,
A few years ago I switched from Paxil to Celexa without major problems -- maybe a transient headache, that's about it. I found Paxil slightly more effective for social phobia than Celexa but I don't know if that's what your mom is taking it for. Celexa was also very helpful for my anxiety, though. Some sedation and sexual dysfunction were the only side-effects I experienced. My pdoc says most patients tell her they experience the fewest side-effects with Celexa than with any other SSRI.
Good Luck,
Jon
