A member asked:
I'm in the process of switching from 100mg a day zoloft to 10mg a day of prozac. i feel prozac helps way better with anxiety. what is the best way to transition from one to another with regards to tapering. thank you for any assistance?

Prozac takes longer to reach therapeutic levels so if I were you I would start the Prozac and then in two weeks decrease the Zoloft to 50 mg and then in two more weeks stop it.

you have a doctor to guide you? Reduce Zoloft in half and start Prozac the same day and stop Zoloft after 2 weeks when Prozac will have started to work
