OK so I've been on celexa and it stopped working after i had my last kid in November '21. So my doc switched me to Lexapro and it worked for about a year. last November it seemed to just stop working one day and so they switched me to sertraline(zoloft). I started with a direct switch to 100mg from the max dose of Lexapro. It seemed that it was starting to work after a few weeks, but then in the last few weeks it seems as though it has stopped working. Doc wanted me to up it to 150mg but I didn't want to take that leap all at once so I was taking 112.5mg(100 + 25mg cut in half). I started that about a week and a half ago and today it seems the anxiety etc is back full force! should I just take the leap and go up to 125-150? or should I try something else? I need positive advice please, negative doesn't help at all in my situation. thank you!! sorry for the long post.
