Day 1 - 9/14
Have been tapering off of Zoloft from 100MG down to 50MG last week. Attempting to get off Zoloft cause of weight gain and sexual side affects.
Have been depression/anxiety free for 5 years on Zoloft but weight gain (70#s) has been impossible to get rid of - even with heavy exercise and dieting.
50mg Zoloft
30mg Cymbalta taken in evening.First night had a bit of trouble staying asleep. Woke up a few times. Seemed to a bit more "energized" at night - nothing significant to report as this is the first day.
Plan is to stay on 50mg Zoloft and 30mg Cymbalta for two weeks and then drop Zoloft to 25mg for 2 more weeks. Will go to 60 mg Zoloft and 0mg zoloft in 4 weeks if side effects are low.
