Thank you for asking Query,
I have read your problem ,as i understood from Q. you are taking anti-dep Medication
for years ,suddenly you stopped it , suddenly stopping these
SSRI medication
is not advisable ,switching to new anti-dep Medication can do same side effects like feeling sleepy /
tiredness, &panic attacks.These medications can be stopped
gradually over 2-4 weeks,tapering the doses by 25% reduction every 5-days
then gradually stop.sudden switching to lexpro without consulting psychiatrist
also do same problem ,as both are different anti-dep drug,so i advise you to consult psychiatrist/or gradually stop
paxil over2-4 weeks, then start 10 mg Lexpro .Hope u got the answer.
Regards,
Dr M Ibrar
