Switching ssris

Hi all. I'm currently on Lexapro but was thinking of switching to Paxil, as it seems to be approved for more conditions than lexapro, ocd being one to name a few. Can anyone share their experience transitioning from one ssri to another or share your thoughts about a particular one?

Considering a change in medication, does your Doctor have that say.We are all different when it comes to side effects.

You will most probably have some side effects when transferring.

If it is not broke do not fix it
