Switching Meds

I was taking 10 mg of Lexapro and just recently switched to Pexeva (Paxil) because the Lexapro never really worked for me. I was taking 10 MG of Lexapro and 10 MG of Pexeva and 5 days ago I stopped the Lexapro and went to 20 MG of Pexeva per my Doctor's instructions.  At times I feel ok but most of the time I feel very "hung over" and have flu like symptoms.  Is this normal?

Those symptoms are  usually assosiated with withdrawal, and anticipated by your doctor when he gave you 20mg paxil to cover it...it should go away very quickly on the Paxil.
