In reply to Switching from SSRI to Stablon, posted by Normal on January 2, 2010, at 19:07:04
A few years ago, I tapered off Zoloft quite rapidly (no discontinuation symptoms) and then started taking Stablon right away, ramping up to the full recommended dose within 3 days - 1 pill 1st day, 2 pills on the second, 3 pills on the 3rd etc.
I don't recall having any problems whatsoever.
Welcome to babble, BTW :) I'm new to the site too.
