Paroxetine to sertraline

[Jwell53]

Took last 10mg of paroxetine on Sunday after tapering down over 6 weeks from 30 mg after 20 years. Now day 5 of taking 25mg of sertraline had a couple of good days this week but feel down today. How long before I might start feeling better as had to come off paroxetine as giving me side effects I presume because I had been on for so long without any reviews from my gp’s. has anyone else down the change and how long before they starting feeling the benefits

I am on sertraline, will coming off them in the next couple of days for a different med. Sertraline can take up to 4 to 6 weeks before you notice anything. Always the first week ye will feel like ye have the cold.

What is your reason for changing your meds. How well did sertraline work for you ?

They don't work for everyone that's like any meds. Just because they did not work for dose not me they won't work for you.

Having trouble sleep on them. X
