It is mainly because of sudden withdrawal of paroxetine. And not due to nexito. So, I would suggest you to stop paroxetine over 15 days by taking 1/2 tablet of 12.5 for 15 days meanwhile continuing nexito 5 mg during that phase. Then you consult your psychiatrist for either continuing same dose or increase in dose.

Hello lybrate-user, nexitoplus contains 5 mg of escitalopram and 0.5 mg of clonazepam.

What stalopam was prescribed for (diagnosis) should be in your prescription. Most probably reason for headache should be stress, but the medication is also a rare possibility (does not occur in most of the persons taking it, and commonly may relieve headache also). Consult your psychiatrist and inform him the issue - a change in medication is probably needed.
