In reply to Paxil was too sedating, but helped. What next?, posted by sregan on November 8, 2010, at 20:29:17
> My wife was on 12.5 mg paxil for 2 weeks and decided to discontinue. It made her way too sleepy but she said it helped stabilize her mood.

> Any idea of what she might try next? Her MD prescribed 20mg of Celexa to try next. Any opinions? I know it's the generic of Lexapro. Is Lexapro expensive even with good insurance?
I found Seroxat to be one of the best SSRIs out there. The side effects were the most troublesome out of all the SSRIs though - weight gain, complete loss of libido and yes, excessive sleepiness!!You could try Prozac - I seemed to do reasonably well on that, but I found Seroxat more effective - especially when combined with a low dose of Stelazine.
