Has someone got success stories with this transition?
The first year on Zoloft went good, I felt no extreme lows, didn’t cried once. What I can’t say about the next year. I won’t say much, but felt like a crying mess at times. Although I had some conflicts in college, and was totally unsatisfied with the way I was living, I tend to think it had not as much to do with the reality of the situation as with the drug wearing off.
What’s interesting is that despite the apparently disastrous mood I’ve had lately, Zoloft has still done a good job of removing my shyness and social awkwardness.
This will be hard to answer because everyone is different, particularly how they react to meds. You can keep a daily record of your mood when you switch over to try and track its efficacy and to monitor side effects though. That can be helpful to both you and your doc.
Good luck.
