I've been on 30mg of Paxil daily for the last two years. Recently, my prescription ran out and my prescriber was on vacation so it didn't get refilled. By day 2 of cessation I started getting really dizzy and neaseous. I found some stray pills laying around under my nightstand so I popped 60mg t9 stave off the withdrawal and now I feel even worse.

So one, should I have just taken the 30mg and if so, would it have even helped? And two, I have a full bottle of Lexapro left from when I was taking that. If I switch to the Lexapro for now until I get my Paxil refilled, will that avoid withdrawal?
