In reply to switching off prozac back on to zoloft, posted by bralin on December 22, 2012, at 7:52:13
> Hello everyone. I am new to the board and would like to introduce myself.
> I have been on zoloft for over 10 yrs for depression and just recently switched to prozac ( over 2 mths ago. ) I switched to see if prozac would give me more energy and not so tired all the time. I am getting worse on prozac and want to go back to zoloft.
> My question is can I just switch off prozac back to my old dosage of zolft or do I have to wean off it or something?
> Thanks for your help. I just feel like I am about to go back into depression if I don't do something and I know that zoloft works so much better for me. Don't know why I keep looking for something better anyways.
> Thanks,,bralin
What dosage of Prozac are you taking? Some people go as high as 60 mg/day.You should be able to cross over from Prozac to Zoloft directly without a taper. Prozac stays in the system long enough such that you are actually cross-titrating. I doubt you will experience any withdrawal effects.
What dosage of Zoloft will you be taking? Adding Wellbutrin might solve the energy problem. This combination is sometimes referred to as "Welloft".
Please post your results.
Thanks.
