Hello and welcome.
It is hard to say just when you will start to feel the theraputic effects you need. Everyone is different...and you are going through a lot of changes...a discontinuation, as well as a start up.
The good news is that since these meds are in the same family, it should be a fairly smooth transition.
Of course, some breakthrough anxiety is expected...but you should see desired results in the new few weeks.
Until you have built up and leveled off with the Cipralex...you can help manage the anxiety with some coping skills.
In our Resources there are great ideas! See them on the main page, 1st thread.:)
Keep posting with us as well for support. We understand and care!
