Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi , My doctor has discontinued and/ or tapered my kids off meds, and once they are completely off, he than will prescribe another SSRI.

Right now Lilly is on 75mg of Sertraline (Zoloft). We're on the way down (from a high of 125 mg) as it doesn't seem to be working any longer and things seemed even worse at a higher dose. I've been reading about other SSRIs and I know that you usually go down 25 mg at a time to get off Zoloft but I was wondering how long your Dr's usually wait before starting another one. We're getting by (not total crisis level all the time) but it's rough. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
