I’m 78 and am tapering to Lexapro from Paxil which stopped working for me. I feel like Lexapro is helping and when I’m done with the very slow taper being monitored by my psychiatrist I will stay on it forever. I am also using Clonazapam to help with any withdrawal effects.

Hello, and greetings from Plymouth, NC!! I don't understand why you are taking a benzo to help with withdrawal symptoms...l had to take Gabapentin to help with withdrawal symptoms from clonazepam. Will you continue to take clonazapam indefinitely?
