Hi Peg:
I took Zoloft for almost 5 years.
My notes are not clear, but I believe that it has been 5 years since I stopped.
Reviewing my notes, it is not clear why I stopped.
I did so pursuant to a doctor's recommendation.
I suspect that I switched from Zoloft to Celexa.
I switched from Celexa to Lexapro in Feb of this year.
I continue on Lexapro @ 20 mgd.
I am not at all sure the Lexapro is helping.
I have read (as I am sure you have) that Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro and Prozac are all SSRI's.
What did the PA say was the reason to switch?
(By the way, Wellbutrin is not (I think) an SSRI.
So, I do not think your experience with Wellbutrin is relevant to the propriety of switching SSRI's.)
According to The Pill Book, the usual dose of Paxil is 20 to 60 mgd, the usual dose of Zoloft is 50 to 200 mgd.
Good luck.
