Moving from Fluoxetine to Sertraline

[Tobythedug]

Hi

I have been struggling with depression for a few months now and took Fluoxetine for 7 weeks but it only seemed to make my symptoms worse by the end.

I was taken off Fluoxetine over the course of a week and I have been on Sertraline for just over a week. I am having good little points in days but my mood always drops mid afternoon and I end up feeling very down for the rest of the day.

Does anyone have any experience of moving between these two medications or any advice on what I can do to help things along?

Thanks

I've no experience of Fluoxetine but for me Sertraline did take a while to settle in, and did come with peaks and troughs initially. I hope it soon settles down for you, but if not it may be worth a return trip to the GP as it may be the case that the dosage just needs a tweak
