In reply to Switching from Paxil to Zoloft?, posted by bluebird on July 3, 2004, at 17:38:00
I've never understood Zoloft's approval for SAD. Paxil is hands down the best SSRI for all anxiety. I went from Paxil to Zoloft simply because I wanted to try something different but was sorry I did as far as treatment goes because Zoloft increased anxiety across the board and never got better even after 6 weeks, I was sorry I stopped the Paxil because I had been on it for about a year and had to start over from square one. Also, when I restarted Paxil I had initial sexual sides which weren't an issue before and it has not seemed to work as good after stopping it and starting it again.
If you are getting positive results with Paxil, I myself would not make the change to Zoloft.
