I am new to meds and would like everyone's imput. I have panic attacks, depression, ocd in a mild form. I started on Paxil and the side effects were beyond terrible. The paxil worked great except for that. My mood was great. So they changed me to Lexapro and that didn't work at all, so the doc went up on the dose. That just made me want to sit in a corner and cry. Depression was awful. Had hot flashes like crazy. So now he wants me to go to 5mg of lexapro and 25mg of Zoloft for one week to wean me off of the lexapro. Then I am suppose to go to 50mg. the next week, then to 100mg by the 3rd week. My boyfriend doesn't want me to take Zoloft because "People kill people on that drug".
So I am kind of scared about it. I take klonipin at night just to help with sleep. Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Kay
