A member asked:

If you had panic attacks, got put on clozapram, and citalpram for about 20 days then see your doc and get paxil, (paroxetine) when will the side effects ease up?

Which side effects?: To go from one ssri to another (citalopram to paxil (paroxetine)) you don't generally need a wash-out period. Also, potential discontinuation symptoms from citalopram would conceivably be covered by paxil (paroxetine). If the Clonazepam was stopped suddenly, that's not a good idea. Can you say whether you're still on clonazepam, and what you're experiencing? I'm sure your own physician would want to know too.
