Zoloft or lexepro

I’m trying to take a pill here... my dr gave me zoloft but I know people that are only on lexepro so I feel like I will be more comfortable on lexepro.

Everyone is different. Some may love lexapro but others do better on Zoloft. I think just try what you have then if you really don't like it then try lexapro

I first started taking lexapro when I was 13 for about a year and didn't really see any noticeable results so I started taking zoloft and it worked very well. They saved my life and I was much happier.

After building up a tolerance to Prozac, my psych. Dr. put me on Zoloft and it worked very well for me for about 10 years until I built up a tolerance to it also. I have had a bad long spell since, trying other med's, became totally depressed and lost 30 lbs and was suicidal, I am now on Viibryd and I feel so well and happy again. I just hope it lasts me for years and years. I say give Zoloft a try, it is a good drug and many people are on it. I wish you well and send you Hugs.......Sprinkle 1...........ooo

How many mg do u suppose to take my psychiatrist wanted me to start off at 100 mg but I know my body and I told him no and cut them in half and take the for 2 weeks than I up them on my own to 100 mg 2week

[Hidden in reply to tamka38]

25 mg ... yeah hot flashes I get now too .. so that must be from anxiety ... are they helping you??

[tamka38 in reply to Hidden]

Is anxiety for me or per-menopause and am doing a little better. Since on being on 50 mg for 2 weeks and than up the to 100 mg for 2 weeks and it can take 6-8 weeks to start working so to me is like starting over from the beginning without side effects Am just praying this the medication
