I'm surprised Paxil is still out considering the side effects. I've never taken it, but my sister did. If she forgot to take a pill she got the shakes. She also gained a lot of weight.
I'm on Zoloft, and have never had a problem. If I forget a pill I don't get any side effects. Granted, I've gained weight, but I'm not sure that's b/c of the Zoloft.
Oh, and don't change meds without talking to your doctor. You might have to let the Paxil out of your system before taking the Celexa again.
