This was a very interesting article. Thank you so much for responding to my post. It's good to know that there is hope out there.
I also did a search on the web for Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac and I have seen soooooo many horror stories associated with the use of these medications. DOesn't really give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the whole thing, but I'm willing to give it a shot. If there's any merit to the "switching" theory, I'm willing to go through it.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond to me!

> "A more common practice today is switching among SSRIs. For inpatients converted from fluoxetine to sertraline in a retrospective review 56% were considered responders (Zarate et al 1996). In another open trial 63% of outpatients switched from sertraline to fluoxetine responded (Thase et al 1997). In another open report of switching from one SSRI to another the overall success rate ranged from 40 to 67% (average 51%) (Joffe et al 1996)."
