Do you have experiences with Zoloft ? I hope it will do something for my melancholic mood and hopelessness. Celexa had a anesthetic like or numbing effect on 100 mg which i didnt like and I felt to much sedation. I always wanted to know how the feeling would be without any drugs (because i sometimes thought taking drugs made me depressed). Now I am on a small dose of Zoloft and the depression worsened since i had to tapper down with all my meds (Celexa 60 mg and 4 mg Edronax). It isnt a try worth ! I have tried Surmontil, Celexa, Efexor, Remeron without remission and unbearable side-effects. I hate that trials with meds who are giving a lot of side-effects and perhaps a little benefit after weeks.......whats a try worth ? Zoloft ?

> I believe you are still in a little Celexa withdrawl. Hopefully within a week you should start to feel a little better. Celexa is touch to come off quickly like most of the SSRI's. I hope Zoloft works well for you. Hang in there.

I tappered the celexa down during too weeks. Suddenly i began to have awful nausea coming and going all the time, flu like symptoms, lethargy... I am not sure if it comes of the zoloft or its a withdrawl of the celexa ? Now it persists since about 10 days.
> > > > > > I tried to stop the zoloft or increasing the dosage but nothing gave me a better feeling or a hint what it could be. I Think the symptoms started before i began with the zoloft but since then they i didnt improved. My doc said that if its a withdrawl the zoloft could improve it because of the same mechanism. Perhaps the nausea is caused of the dopamine action of Zoloft too ? Is it a awful side-effect of Zoloft ?
