Anti anxiety medicat: If you have discontinued Celexa or reduced the dose significantly your symptoms are recurring, as expected. It will take some time before the effect of Paxil (paroxetine) s felt and my require dose adjustments.

Many psychiatrists: Recommend a cross titration in which Celexa is being reduced as the Paxil (paroxetine) is being increased. This is done to prevent ssri discontinuation symptoms - but is not always seamless. As time goes on ; medications are titrated this should resolve. Take care.
