Hi there Ron,
I took to Zoloft like a duck to water-no problems with the Prozac transition. I find it compliments Sam-e a little better than Prozac, in that it feels slightly less 'coarse'. We can only get scored 50mg pills here, so I split one in half, then attempt the near impossibility of a further split into a quarter.For this reason (and because I really need to build up a mental prophylactic before we plunge into next years gloomy winter), I'll most prob. try things out at 25mg.
Incidentally, I also take 10mg (tiny dose)of amitriptyline to help with insomnia (have done for years), and a small dose benzo. (diazepam) 5mg...most days I split it and make do with just 2.5mg.This is for the residual anxiety that I now seem to have pretty much under control-it was very severe at one point.Eventually, I may grab me some of them there 100mg Sammy pills,and try things at 300mg.More sammy = less fibromyalgia pain/stiffness, but you know what it feels like when you go too high too soon!!Stay well (and mad!!)
Col.
Ps. agree with you entirely about docs lapping up med. rep propaganda!
