> Hello,
> My doc just took me off of Effexor RX last Tuesday and switched me straight over to Zoloft. He told me to stop taking the Effexor which I did and start on the Zoloft. The problem is I'm feeling really sick to my stomach, irritable, my depression has gotten worse and feel like I have the flu or something. My question is, is this Effexor withdrawl or side effects from Zoloft? Sholud I be tapering off of Effexor and taking Zoloft at the same time?

Its quite possibly the Effexor ... how much were you taking?

I once forgot my meds at home so went from 150 to 0 for two days and it was hell. I felt depressed, suicidal, groggy and I would get such scary nightmares that I didn't want to go to sleep anymore... I stopped eating and I didn't want to even get dressed. Effexor has NASTY withdrawal effects ... I think mainly because it has such a short half-life ... missing my dose for a few hours is enought to get me sick.
