Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I will post the results of my little experiment in a few weeks. It will be interesting since my life circumstances are really at a low point. I will say that so far reducing my Lex from 30mg to 20mg has removed most of the heavy head, fogginess and blurred vision.

Since switching from Paxil to Lex (Well. constant), my only difference is I have trouble sleeping sometimes but I don't know for sure if it is the Lex or just anxiety...it only happens the night before work! > > Thanks for the site - I will check it out! > > > > Re: Jeff <<Hi > > > > Hello : > > I agree with you...the sides are NOT BS, THEY ARE REAL!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Forgot to mention...I also am having trouble staying asleep...only getting 5-6 hrs a night and have suspected it may be the Lex.I also get up in an anxious state. Others complain of drowsiness...go figure! jeff > > Hi Jeff, > > I think you have a good idea about trying to isolate the side > effects of taking Lex by not taking anything else - let me know how > it goes. > > > > I guess I can't really tell because I am Wellbutrin and Lex. > Since switching from Paxil to Lex (Well. constant), my only > difference is I have trouble sleeping sometimes but I don't know for > sure if it is the Lex or just anxiety...it only happens the night > before work! > > > > Thanks for the site - I will check it out! > > > > > > > Re: Jeff <<Hi > > > > > > Hello : > > > I agree with you...the sides are NOT BS, THEY ARE REAL!
