In reply to Switch from Lexapro to Effexor XR??, posted by theo on May 26, 2003, at 10:31:07
It's a tough call to make. A few days a go, I read the results of a study with Lexapro and Effexor that showed less Lexapro patients discontinuing because of side effects compared to Effexor. But a lot of people do very well on Effexor.
You have only been on Lexapro for a few weeks. I think that you should definitely give it more time. The spacy feeling may very well go away with time. I have been on 20 mg Lexapro for about 6 months with excellent results.
For tiredness, I get good benefits with caffeine and especially with dark (not milk) chocolate. I eat about 1 ounce each day of dark chocolate which gives me a lot of energy. It might help with your spacy feeling. It's a healthy snack.
