I am switching my anti-depressant from
75mg of effexor xr to 100mg of zoloft.
The reason for this is because my doc
wanted to up my dose of effexor from 75 to
150 mg. For some reason my insurance
company won't cover effexor any longer.
They will however cover zoloft. So my
doctor told me to take the rest of my
effexor which is 6 more days, then start
taking 1 zoloft a day. I am kind of
scared of the change and I am wondering if
I will gain weight from it. Have any of
you had any bad side effects from zoloft?
Do you think I will have problems
switching from effexor to zoloft. I am
so paranoid and afraid I will have bad
effects from switching maybe seizures or
something just because of changing meds.
And then like I said I would just like to
know if any of you experienced any bad
side effects from just taking zoloft.
Any sex drive changes?

Hi sara
i'm on zoloft (275mg) and I used to be on
effexor but I didn't like it. I didnt
experience any weight gain but expect some
sex drive alterations! It makes
you....For lack of a better word never
feel horny! Lol but I weigh out what I
would be like without it and I would
rather have little sex and be happy then
have lots of sex and be miserable

That is so true...Thanks for replying to
me. I hope the transition for me goes
well and I hope it makes me feel a little
better. Effexor almost seemed to stop
working for me.
