In reply to Prozac vs Zoloft, posted by homelife on December 31, 2002, at 10:04:27
> I'm in my late 40's and have been on zoloft for two years (also synthroid). Dosages started at 25, and were steadily increased to 150. About six months ago, because of cost and lack of confidence in the drug itself, I weaned off of it. My life is becoming one huge hell...Several people mention Prozac has worked better for them. Can I hear any testimonials/advice? I am at my wits end, and no time, or energy,or interest in my family (or cooking one of my hobbies). It has steadily gotten worse even when I was taking the zoloft...the everincreasing dosages made me feel like a zombie on aut0-pilot. The point that I am at now is overstress due to bankruptcy,children,work, and I will start laughing and before you know it I am crying. Am I Crazy? Can med change to prozac help? TIA
I just turned 40 my issues are with my panic attacks, but I can relate to the medication. I have tried 4 SSRI's, am starting on my 5th tomorrow, had to change due to side effects and hives on one of them. Just wanted to let you know sometimes it takes a while to find the one that is right for you. My doctor assures me that I will find something, I also am taking xanax which is an immediate help. But I want to discontinue that. I am starting on Lexapro tomorrow I'm hoping this is the one for me. HANG IN THERE !!
