Switching Medications

I have been taking 100mg Zoloft for the last few months and I just swapped over to 10mg Lexapro on my doctors suggestion. What are some of the biggest changes/challenges you guys have noticed switching between these or just with Lexapro?

I switched from Lexapro to Cymbalta and back to Lexapro recently and I had some reactions to the Cymbalta (because it's an SNRI vs. SSRI) which included increased anxiety and nausea, and am now trying to get back to baseline on the Lexapro (I was also on a higher dose of it before) but in general I had no side effects or issues with the Lexapro, so I would be curious to see how you transition. Let me know how you're doing.
