Paxil to Lexapro--Let's see, salvation or sex??

So far (one month) on Lexapro, and I am disappointed, but it wasn't until literally after the sixth full week on Paxil that I started feeling less depressed/disoriented (demenitia-like symptoms [anyone else ever experience that? god, i hope so for my sake, hope not for yours)] ocd/panicky/generally angst ridden/socially anxious (let's see, did I cover them all? yep); Paxil saved my life; it was hell getting on, and hell getting off, but while on it, it literally gave me hope to live, especially with the thick-headed/demenitia/inability to focus-concentrate symptoms; the sexual side effects, however, were so bad that I had to try to get off and find something else; I got on Luvox for awhile, until Lexapro came on the market; I was on 10 mg for a week, and was chronically depressed, so, went up to 20, and have been at 20 for 3 more weeks; so far, i've got a chronic medium grade depression, with the other things still hanging on, including the weird thick-headed sense, or like a distortion in my perception (see, that's one of my problems, not being able to identify/articulate what's wrong); oh well, this is my story, and I'm sticking to it; anyone relate? should I hang with Lexapro or go back to Paxil?
