Antidepressant Dilemma. Please Respond.

Posted by Joy on January 4, 2001, at 9:06:49

I have tried Zoloft now for over six weeks. It did not help me, but the last week I feel a little better, but I had increased my dose to 125 mg and I seemed to get a lot of headaches on the higher doses. I am down now to about 35 mg. I am seeing my doc today, and am thinking of asking to try Prozac. I am afraid of weight gain on the Zoloft and it doesn't work that well anyway. My doc wanted me to try Prozac originally but I declined and went with Paxil [which worked] but I got off it too soon. I know I will have to stay on an antidepresant probably the rest of my life [depression/irritability, etc]. I have to look for a job which I dread now and need some help and the Zoloft is not doing it. I can't see a psych for a few weeks [insurance]. Should I go with the Prozac while I'm weaning off the Zoloft, or take 25 mg Zoloft while trying the Prozac? Anybody have any opinions? Thanks.
