Sak doctor: Usually when switching from 1 SSRI ANTIDEPRESSANT TO another they are overlapped tapering decreasing the first and starting to increase the dose or the new SSRI over about 2 or 3 weeks.THIS IS DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A DOCTOR

If you are not comfortable or unsure about the medication your Doctor prescribed then it is advisable to get a second opinion from a Psychiatrist after you have had a complete physical exam by your Primary Care Physician to rule out any underlying illness. A Clinical Psychologist can also help you with psychotherapy.
