Has anyone had experience switching straight from a low dosage of Lexapro (or any other SSRI) to Effexor? I ve done the switch from Zoloft to Lexapro and I tapered down from 100mg (pretty quickly - 2 days on 50, 2 days on 25, was only on Zoloft for 2 months) and then went straight to 10mg Lexapro and felt pretty fine, mild anxiety increase while tapering off Zoloft and pretty bad brain fog
So they switched me to lexapro 5mg, Tuesday is the last time I took the zoloft. Yesterday I took the lexapro for the first time. Yesterday was absolutely horrible. Im not sure if it was from going off the zoloft or what. But I am so nervous to take the lexapro again. I need to be on something though.

You re going to do great keeping reminding yourself that! I started medication 3 years ago. I initially had tried Zoloft for 6 weeks and was on it for way longer than I should had been. Was having constant panic attacks and sleeping only 1-2hrs a night. My doctor failed to switch me sooner. I did a straight switch from Zoloft to Lexapro.
I grant that the effect is real, as many women on Lexapro have found, but its administration has to be subtle.
