A member asked:
Will it be hard switching from 100mg of zoloft for 6 wks to lexapro (escitalopram)???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zoloft to Lexapro (escitalopram): Making the change from Zoloft to Lexapro (escitalopram) should not be too difficult as long as it's done under a doctor's supervision. You will essentially reduce the daily dose of Zoloft while you increase the daily dose of Lexapro (escitalopram) as your doctor instructs you. You will continue this titration until you are totally off the Zoloft and only on your final daily dose of Lexapro (escitalopram). The process might take 2-3 weeks.
