Make sure you very slowly taper off the Paxil before starting the new drug.  You want to know what effects are withdrawal from Paxil and which are side effects from the new drug, and Paxil can take a long time to wean off of.  Be safe.

Ok yeah that's what I was dreading - feeling groggy in the day because I'm studying these days... Thanks for your reply.

It really helped me for a couple of years. Withdrawal was minimal. But the 2nd round I took it for a few months then weened off, the withdrawal was really bad on me. But it could have been a bad mix of anxiety on top of that.

It will make you crave sugary foods! But it will kill anxiety and depression. It made me super creative as well. Loved it while my body was agreeing with it. :)

I prefer to be med free these days though. Good luck, hope it works well for you! You'll sleep like a baby the first few days and feel really groggy during the day, but that will slowly leave over time.
