Paxil vs. Lexapro

425runner
The Lexapro is so darn expensive, even with insurance $70/month!!  Paxil has a generic so it should be cheaper but is it just as good?  Anybody tried both and can compare?  Side effects of the Paxil similar to Lex?

Thanks

You can try going through the drug company for free medicine or through Partnership for Prescription Assistance (pparx.com).

I take a generic with the same results as the brand name.  I went to a generic due to the cost as well.
