I was on Paxil for some years then my dr. decided to change meds. Effexor; Lexapro 10mg; Paxil again;Remeron. Every time, I just switched from one med to the new med. - did not feel withdrawals. Now I'm taking Zoloft 50mg. along with Xanax 0.5mg - I cut Xanax in half and take as needed - sometimes is daily. Anxiety is like an "unwelcome visitor".
At the beginning, I was so afraid of taking Xanax....now, I'm grateful.
