What JohnL said. and how.

particularly the part about coming onto Zoloft slowly. I think Prozac stays in your system longest of the SSRIs, so it's not going to be like you suddenly loose one set of senstations and just as suddenly pick up a different set.

I've made this switch myself, and while SSRIs in general just don't cut the mustard for me, prozac did make me considerably more anxious, but also more energetic, than zoloft.

One thing you may want to do is keep a journal every day to monitor how you are feeling over the switch. It may take several weeks to a month or more for the prozac to leave and the zoloft to settle in, so be alert for some instability in your mood, but you need to give them that month before you can really compare the "before" entries in that journal to the "after" entries.

good luck
bob
