A member asked:
Can i take paxil (paroxetine) and lexapro together?

Yes: However is not the best practice. You need to check with your dr. The best approach is to take just one at an appropriate dose.

Why?: Why would you be taking two SSRI's together - unless you are in the process of a cross-titration. Discuss with your prescribing doctor.
