I started off EE and switched to CS (ended up with a minor in EE anyway), and I found EE to be much much harder. Specifically the math was harder, specifically differential equations. I remember just doing hours and hours and hours of transforming circuit diagrams in to differential equations and then attempting to solve those differential equations which, as I barely recall, amounted to doing a Laplace transform, then thrashing around haplessly in algebra-land for ages trying to get the thing into some recognizable form be able to do the inverse transform, but ultimately failing because I made some small unrecognized error in my thrashings, or just happened to thrash in an unfruitful direction.
The digital side of EE wasn't so bad, though I didn't do very well at debugging wire-wrapped boards (not that anybody does that anymore).
