MaryZee,
I switched to lexapro from zoloft about a month ago and at first it was rough going. LOTS of sleeping needed and craved...and I was anxious and unsettled, but after about 21/2 weeks, it suddenly kicked in and I felt much better.
I was on zoloft for about 7 years and it pooped out on me, too. I loved my zoloft and so didn't have much faith in anything else, but have patience and I think it will work for you. If you responded that well for that long to Prosiac, I think this will do well for you, too. I started at 20 mg a day which seems a bit high compared to what others have said on this site (most talk about 10 mg) but I figured my pdoc must have a reason for that.
Hang in there, the sleepiness passes in about a week and then it just gets better and better.
Let us know!
Mary
