Default Switching AD's . . . Paxil?

I know the topic of AD's has come up before, just couldn't find the threads.

I am going back on Paxil. My PCP and I agreed that the Celexa is cutting it anymore, or better yet, right now at this point in time I need something different. My anxiety has been all over the place due to pain as well as all that I have gone through over the past several months. My pain coping skills are just gone right now and I am so stuck in the pain cycle it's creating more muscle tension and spasms then I already had. My counselor has been great and suggested that I talk to my dr about switching (since the increase to 20 mg of Celexa did not work and only added to things).

So, I thought I would ask what your experiences have been in switching ADs. Was it easy to switch and how long did it take for you to feel the effects of the new med? Also, more specifically, how many of you have tried and/or are on Paxil?
