Yeah I know what you mean. I've been on lexapro for a few months, weaned down to 2.5mg, and today switched straight across to zoloft. Lex was good for anxiety, but not for depression, and actually induced a depression of its own.
Most of the day I felt better than in months. But this evening I am having some strong anxiety. Can't tell if it is zoloft start up effects or whether it is lexapro wearing off. Probably both.
In clinical trials zoloft's anti-anxiety is supposed to kick in between 1 and 2 weeks. In the meantime, I am clock watching for my 2.5mg zyprexa to kick in and calm down the anxiety, and I have some xanax on standby.
