To think about:: Prozac (fluoxetine) leaves the body very slowly, so adding another SSRI at an equivalent dose is like doubling it for awhile. Here are some Canadian guidelines worth a discussion http://www.bcguidelines.ca/pdf/depress_appd.pdf

Prozac/Zoloft: Stopping Prozac is not a problem, but starting Zoloft (sertraline) at lower dose then gradually increasing dose as tolerated, would be my advise. Please consult your prescribing doctor first.
