citalopram to sertraline
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi folks, been on citalopram for 8 years now, apart from a brief time on miratzipine 3 month last October to start of January, then back on Cit since, however the mood has never really lifted 5 out of 10 at best and the last 2 weeks more like 3 out of 10. So been back at the docs and switching to sertraline 50mg then a 100mg after 2 weeks, has anyone done this swap, and were there side effects, when I swapped from cit to miratzipine last year there was little anxiety but nothing major, the miratzipine made me angry so had to come off it.

I have done that swap with no additional side effects. Both drugs are SSRIs so work in the same way. (Mirtazapine is different). I did the swap hoping sertraline would not cause insomnia as citalopram did - but it was no different. I am still on the sert (100mg) but take a low dose of mirt (15mg) with it to counter the insomnia. That works well.

Then if I have no side effects no Cit for a week or every other day if I do get withdrawls, then onto 50mg sertraline, and up to 100mg
