Sertraline to Escitalopram
Posted , 4 users are following.
Been on Sertraline for 4 weeks now, side effects subsided a bit a couple of weeks ago but then after trying to increase to 50mg got bad side effects so have gone back down to 25mg, but still having bad side effects over a week later. Especially nausea, early morning anxiety, not able to eat, which is making me dizzy and shaky and effecting Work. Dr said maybe sertraline isn’t agreeing with me, should be getting better by now and i have a prescription for escitalopram. Has anyone had success changing and were side effects better/less? Thank you, so stuck on what to do!

Hi Chev,
Yeah, unfortunately, taking meds like these is trial and error and adaptation. I had those exact same symptoms. It sucks big time. If you haven't been feeling any improvement, Sert may not be for you.
I gave myself 6 weeks, after that period, my doctor switched me off Sert. I'm on Remeron now and for me, it works. But I had to dose down from my 75mg., to 50mg., and then 25,mg. while I was introducing Remeron.
But again, I had side effects while coming off. It went on for about a week.
Hang in there! There is light at the end of the tunnel!
