A member asked:
My doctor wants to reduce my dose of zoloft (sertraline)and put me on paroxetine 20 mg is that a better drug than zoloft (sertraline).

One is not better: Than the other per se. Each person reactes a little differently to medications. A trial of an antidpressant medication will help to determine which is more effective for you and which has a more satisfactory side effect profile. Take care.
