I’m switching from Prozac to Zoloft. Today I don’t really feel anxious but I feel crappy. Like I have a headache and I’m nauseous. I just feel icky. Anyone else ?

How long have you been on Zoloft?

A day or so

I would give it some more time, or if you are concerned you could ask your doctor.

Not really concerned, just wondering if they were side effects of new meds

You definitely need give it at least 3 weeks or so hopefully it doesn't take that long if it's the right medication for you, God Bless You

II had to switch from prozac to zoloft also, prozac wasn't right for me just made things worse but zoloft helped a lot just have to give it lots of time it takes 3 months to fully work but its worth getting past all the crappy side effects

I was in Zoloft before and it was amazing. Then they upped it to 150 and it quit working. They then changed me to Prozac and it didn’t work so back to Zoloft. I just didn’t remember feeling so crappy 😐

That usually happens when you're switching meds, like my doctor told me it gets worse before it gets better, it happens to me and I just hate it but it's necessary to change the medication if it's not going to work, I been sick everyday for 8 months now trying different meds and I think I'll be changing here soon again I'm on Citalopram 40mg a and it's just not working 😣
