Your doctor should have advised you on how best to do this. Since you are already on an antidepressant, I doubt you will see any side effects of switching to a new one. Are you on any type of anxiety medication? Most of us take both, and that's an option you may want to discuss with your doctor. I hope the Celexa does the job for you!
I apologize. I thought I had replied to this earlier. I am also on lorazepam, I try not to take it very often as I understand it's highly addictive. I have started the switch, this is my 3rd day, so far so good. I have been anxious but the swith has me taking 50mg(half my daily dose) of zoloft with 20mg of Celexa. In 4 or 5 days I will be stopping the zoloft altogether. If need be, I will increase my dose of Celexa to 40mg in a few weeks . If none of that works I shall seek out another option. Thank you so much for your advice. I really need the communication, it comforts me. I truly appreciate it. =)
