gonna work? I know the two aren't supposed to be taken together but my doc prescribes them. Had to do something. Was on 50 mg. for two days and then 100mg. for the past 7 days. No side effects whatsoever. Does that mean it's not working?
Thanks,
Laney

No. You're used to taking SSRI, so it's not surprising that you've not experienced any side effects.
Now that you're on 100mg Zoloft, you will probably be able to taper off Paxil fairly quickly.

Laney Ed is very knowledgeable and I trust him fully. I never knew that so that would also explain why paxil were the only ssri's or ssnri's that I had side effects from. Love Phillipa ps Ed could write more on this as never heard of it before thanks love PJxx

Be grateful for not having side effects! The reason you aren't having start up side effects is because you are already on another SSRI. I would let your brain adjust to the new addition and then start tapering the paxil. You MAY find the tapering goes faster now that you are on the Zoloft.

Thanks Kat!
This is all just very frustrating at times.
People take their mental health for granted. You need it more than you know. I'll be grateful once I'm stabilized.
