    If you have a heart condition I would have thought that Lithium would suit you better as it is easier on the blood system. Look it up on Wikepedia if you have a computer. They actually use it in batteries now!

    Hi I swapped after 12 weeks from citalopram to sertraline and there were no transitional problems at all ! I was very anxious about swapping and side effects etc but it was really ok ! Try to be positive x
