Sertraline more time?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all, I have been on sertraline since mid October so 3 months now, I am in a week on 200mg now and to be honest sertraline hasn't done much for me, I am not depressed just GAD and depersonalisation that won't go away (I've had it 12 years) anyway I was on citalopram before sertraline and that didn't do much neither, are sertraline and citalopram like the same kind of drug? I know they are both ssri's. I didn't get many side effects off sertraline cos I cross tapered from citalopram. I spoke to my doctor yesterday and the pyschartrist that I seen before Christmas to assess me got back to my doctor saying I should be on venlafaxine which is a snri and I am dreading tapering off sertraline. I told the doctor I would like to stay on sertraline for 6 more weeks at 200mg to see if that does anything then cross tapered to venlafaxine. But now I am thinking sertraline won't do much for me and to start tapering off it now or should I give it more time?
