Hello,
Escitalopram (cipralex) is superior compared with paroxetine (paxidep), which has a less favorable tolerability profile. Paroxetine is associated with cholinergic muscarinic antagonism and potent inhibition of CYP2D6, and sertraline has moderate drug interaction issues in comparison with escitalopram. Hence, escitalopram is better to use than paroxetine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
