Paxil vs. Lexapro
425runner
The Lexapro is so darn expensive, even with insurance $70/month!! Paxil has a generic so it should be cheaper but is it just as good? Anybody tried both and can compare? Side effects of the Paxil similar to Lex?
Thanks

I take a generic with the same results as the brand name. I went to a generic due to the cost as well.
