I'm tapering pamelor (40,30,20mg) with panic attacks & nighttime leg cramps. dr wants me to start zoloft (sertraline) (50mg). how should i transition these meds?

Talk with your docto: Your doctor should provide very specific instructions on how to do this. Typically you slowly increase the zoloft (sertraline) while at the same time slowly decreasing the Pamelor. The time frame would depend on you specifically. If your doctor did not provide specific instructions then I would schedule another appointment to discuss this.
