I know zoloft has a fairly short half-life. My pdoc thinks my previous 50mg were too low a dose, and thats why I felt bad. I disagree and think it was too HIGH a dose for me.

> What are your reasons for wanting to go back to Zoloft instead of Celexa? I have been wondering if I should do the same thing and am trying to process my thoughts and get some clarification. Does Celexa make you too lethargic?
> JaneBOh my gosh, I feel horrible on celexa- or at least on celexa alone! I am anxious and more depressed than ever, but in a different way. "Tired and wired", I have energy that I cannot focus in any one direction. I Cannot concentrate, am easily confused, and crying spells on and off for days on end. My pdoc says to give it more time and I say NO WAY! So, yesterday AM and this morning I took a small dose zoloft. The crying has stopped. I can focus and feel calmer. However, I am nauseous. This could be from restarting the zoloft, or from the fact that I took a very amount of celexa last night.
I don't know if I should take a combo of celexa and zoloft or just zoloft alone. By inself, the zoloft had made me feel apathetic. But maybe I need to do a VERY low dose. I sure wish I knew WHAT to do.
Why are your reasons for wanting to change meds, Jane? Are you having no luck on celexa, either?
