    I am now on Step Four:
    25 mg Paxil
    10 mg Lexapro

    I am not sure, but I think my anxiety is better now that I am on Lexapro. However, I am fairly certain it is causing headaches. I get so much nausea all the time that it is hard to tell, but I think the Lexapro may cause some nausea too.

    I really hope the headaches wear off, but if I keep upping the dose (which is the plan), that might not happen for a while.

    Huge note: Thus far, I have gone down from 40 mg to 25 mg Paxil per day. I have done that many times in the past. It was much more pleasant this time, the Lexapro really blunts the Paxil withdrawal. I haven't felt any Paxil withdrawal, except perhaps the headaches, which might be caused by the Lexapro itself. Normally Paxil withdrawal is pretty harsh.
