Thanks for your reply. Why do you mean not going higher with the Zoloft than 25 mg?
My doc had one who tappered down from 200 mg (!) Celexa in 10 days without any problems! He suggested me to increase the Zoloft to overcome the withdrawl.
please read this:
Re: from celexa to zoloft..... please help !!!> 60 mg Celexa is a high dose; weaning down should take at least 5 or 6 weeks; stay on low Zoloft [not over 25 mg]. Take a little more Celexa and wean down cause you are having big time withdrawal effects. Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope it gets better soon, I'm sure it will.

Suddenly i began to have awful nausea coming and going all the time, flu like symptoms, lethargy... I am not sure if it comes of the zoloft or its a withdrawl of the celexa ? Now it persists since about 10 days.

I Think the symptoms started before i began with the zoloft but since then they i didnt improved. My doc said that if its a withdrawl the zoloft could improve it because of the same mechanism. Perhaps the nausea is caused of the dopamine action of Zoloft too ? Is it a awful side-effect of Zoloft ?
