Hi all,

I would need some urgent advice from people with some expertise. as I want to switch from paroxetine to Escitalopram asap.
I used paroxetine for 5,5 weeks en 10 mg, en then lowered since 1,5 week to 5 mg, as this stuff is making me way too drowsy. As I am afraid for discontinuation effects, what would be the best way to switch safely to 7,5 mg Escitalopram?

Direct switch is probably not advisable, right?

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help, as I am very sensitive to meds and changes…. 🙏
