I agree that orbital may want to wait a good month to see how he feels.

The doc wants to start Zoloft because they are concerned that in a week or so, when any therapeutic effects of Lexapro wear off, orbital may not be feeling so good. It is quite common to come off a drug and initially feel better. But then a little time passes and the person finds themselves feeling worse in some ways than when they were on the drug-very very common.
