First, don't be scared. Both are very similar anti-depressants and both are used to treat anxiety. If you start to exhibit physical side effects, call your doctor. I totally understand what you're going through because my dr. recently changed my meds too. I went from Effextor to Paxil (Paroxetine) and am still on a small dose of Effexor. I'm having trouble getting off of that Don't panic. We're here for you. But don't suffer either! Make sure if you have physical or intense emotional side effects, you call your doctor. Sending you love & peace.
