Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that sudden withdrawal from rexipra (escitalopram) will not cause any such side effects because you are already moving onto other anti-anxiety medication. In its absence, it would have caused withdrawal symptoms. Prexep Cr (paroxetine) is a controlled release tablet will thus cause sustained level in blood at any given point of time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
