Hi all

My doctor suggested me to swap current SSRI Setraline, she wrote a prescriprion for venoflexitine

Doctor wanted ne to reduce current one setraline 100mg to 50mg before swapping. Then after a week venoflexitine i need replace.

coming off setraline is only the reason for ita stop working. All My though to and feeling are more 50 mg after 3 - 5 days and its started having some blemishes and spot appear on My left arm.. My face is covefed with spots Marks , My arm also and hand,

can someone please advice, doesn any of you step down from setraline , and replace with venoflexitine. I am thinking My side effects now a lil but licking off like sweating, electric shocks and now My body coveredwith spots blemishes . Therefore i caunt coupe with other

My pink glasses are gone,

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.
