hi I`m on mirtazapine I was reducing them to nothing so I could start sertraline and for two weeks it was really tough.sounds like an adverse reaction to the new meds just like I had with sertraline my advice is phone NHS and ask them what to do.

Its a different type of med than the zoloft and may work for you but you will need to give it time to take affect ( a week or two). I personally found that zoloft did not work for me but Pristiq did which is the same type of med that venoflexitine is but we all react differently to meds.

Not what you're looking for?
