i was switched once from paxil to celexa. previously i had also just discontinued paxil because i got pregnant. my side effects of discontiuing paxil were flu-like weakness dizziness just plain felt horrible. after the baby was born my doctor wanted me to try celexa and i gave it a full month before i requested he put me back on the paxil. remember i hadn't been taking any ssri or ssnri type medication for almost a year while i was pregnant. the celexa also made me very drowsy and lethargic in the afternoon making it difficult to care for my newborn. after starting back on paxil i had absolutely no side effects and have been on paxil since then. i don't think each person has the same brain chemistry; some may do better on one and another may do worse. i only referred to myself; i hope you and your doctor are able to figure out what is best for you. take care!
