    We cannot regret what we have done, we can only accept,learn and move on. citalopram stopped working for you so you had to do something, which you did and thought it was for the best, it probably will be, it just needs time, I too, in the early days of taking sertraline, thought this is too much sadness what is the point but I had, as you do, saving factors and my need to get better far outweighed the alternative, you will get better, the fact that you had a good week proves they will work, the medication just needs more time to adjust, eventually everything will settle and be ok

    Hello Deblou!

    I am going through on the same thing. Switched from Escitalopram to Zoloft and I am depressed as well. We are about the same time wise. Others say on other forums depression is just a side effect and it will subside as the other side effect does/did. I can't wait the day when I feel a bit brighter, but it is not here yet 😦 I am off as well and it makes my anxiety even worse because I feel so guilty and useless 😦 But what can I do?!

    Let's hope the best!

    Anyways how are you feeling today? Hope you have been having a good day today!

    Regards,

    B.
