Hey Guys -
I recently changed from Effexor XR 300 mg per day to Lexapro 20 mg per day with absolutley no problems. I wanted to post this because I was so surprised. The only tappering I did was from 300mg of Effexor XR to 150mg per day. I took the 150mg per day with the Lexapro for about three days and they dropped the Effexor entirely without any problems or withdrawal symptoms.

Just out of personal curiosity (I'm considering doing the opposite switch of what you did), why did you decide to switch from Effexor to Lexapro? Anyway, glad to hear you had no problems.

I did not like the symptoms I had if I missed even one dose of Effexor or took it late. It was kind of scary. I would get sick at my stomach and my it would feel as if electric shocks were going through my head. I have found that I generally less tired, more focused, and in a better mood on Lexapro. I was taking 300mg of Effexor a day, which is a pretty large dose.
