hi! i have been on sertraline for 17 years and started noticing as im getting in my late 20's, i dont seem to have the same effect as i use to. Everything started to bother me again, i worry about getting sick and vomiting (i am emetaphobic so vomiting is my worst fear).

So now my doctor is slowly weaning me off the sertraline and introducing fluoxetine into my system. i am now on day 23 (little bit over 3 weeks) and am on 40mg of fluoxetine. i am noticing some days are good and others are bad. i cannot shake the morning anxiety!

i take 0.5mg of clonazepam in the mornings which seem to help but my next task is to eventually wean myself off the clonazepam when the fluoxetine starts working full effect.

when can i expect to get rid of the morning anxiety?
