In reply to Experiences w/ switching from SSRI to tricyclic?, posted by lisamb on September 20, 2001, at 4:46:41
I don't see a reason to taper down, there are no contraindications, such as with the MAOI's. The TCA will help with any effects you have with stoping the SSRI.
I've gone right from SSRI to TCA, and vice versa.
Do keep in mind how long the SSRI remains active vs. how fast you raise the TCA dose, and while there is still SSRI active don't rasie the TCA dose too quickly.James
