Cross tapering from Zoloft to Prozac

[PlainyJaney]

Does anyone have experience with this? I’ve been on Zoloft since July but not seeing the results I’d like, and in bad habits since starting like laziness and gaining weight. My doctor is switching me over to Prozac. I am currently on 100mg of Zoloft, and eventually getting to 20mg of Prozac. For the first week, I will take 50 mg of Zoloft and 10mg of Prozac, then the 2nd week will be 25mg of Zoloft and 10 Prozac. I’m worried about side effects? Has anyone had side effects doing this? My Zoloft side effects weren’t fun when I first started so I’m worried. Also, any troubles with mixing the two drugs, like getting sick or anything? Thanks!

I was taking 250mg Zoloft for a long period of time.

It was not making any difference with my OCD symptoms.

Thus, I switched to Prozac, while tapering Zoloft.

It did not make me sick while mixing the medicines.

Then, I was on Prozac for some months, but I started to have bad side effects.

I was vomiting in the evenings.

Also, Prozac did not help with my OCD symptoms.

Thus, I tapered and stopped Prozac.

Since Zoloft did not cause any bad side effects, I have started Zoloft again.

I am again taking Zoloft 250mg.

It is not helping me with my OCD symptoms, but it just helps with being stable.

Everybody reacts differently to medications.

They do not get the same side effects as others.

Hopefully, Prozac will work out for you, and it will help with OCD.
