Third Week Switching from Paxil CR to Celexa
I am now taking 60 mg of Celexa and only 25 mg of Paxil CR. I am doing fine except I was drowsy the first few mornings of taking the 3rd Celexa for the first time. The psychiatrist told me to cut the morning pill in half and add it to the night dose. He always tells me to spread out the anti-anxiety medication into 3 doses a day. I think some doctors tell people to take it all at once. What does your doctor tell you to do?

I am trying to switch from Paxil CR 37.5 to Celexa 20mg. I have a sort of foggy, walking in a dream feeling. Did you experience this?
Dear Tonya,
I don’t remember this particular symptom. Be sure to keep in close contact with your doctor every step of the way. And go slowly and gradually. That is a rule of thumb every doctor should follow. Good luck. Keep me posted on your progress.
