I have been taking lexapro (10mg) for about 4 years with mostly positive results. The last year or so it hasn't been working as well and I have attempted to wean off (with horrible results) many times. Now, I have a new health insurance company that will not cover this med so my Physician and I have decided to try Zoloft. He says to make the switch immediate, with no overlap. I am to start the Zoloft(25mg)for 2 weeks then up it to 50mg. Is this the best way to do this? I am worried about the withdrawal symptoms of coming off Lexapro so suddenly. Does anyone have any experience making this switch? I am very nervous about this but I have to do it one way or the other.
