Re: And so we begin Day Seven

[Guest guest]

Will be thinking of you ! Good luck. Keep us posted.

Only transition I have been through is Celexa to Lex but you probably

can't compare that to what you are doing ?!

There was also the thin to fat transition while on Paxil ;oP now that

was fun fun fun !

Yes, I have been. I was on Zoloft for years and felt that I was slipping

away again. At my Dr's appointment, I explained what I was feeling and he

changed me to Lex. He told me to stop the Zoloft completely right away and

to begin the Lex (10 mg.) I did that and felt no withdrawal or anything like

that. Have now been on Lex for a year and feel good.

The day the doc prescribed the Lex he told me to stop the Zoloft. Next day,

I threw out the Zoloft, took the Lex, no problems.
