Hi all,
I am new to the forum, and was hoping for some help and advice if possible please.
I suffer from OCD, depression and anxiety, have done since i was a child.
I have been on sertraline for 15 years and got on well with it. I started on 50mg, but over time i needed my dose increased and until recently was on 150mg. Anyway, i seemed to be getting worse, and my psychiatrist changed my meds to Venlafaxine.
Venlafaxine is a horrid drug, been on it nearly 6 weeks,but has made me ill so i am being taken off of it, infact i take my last pill tomorrow. :yesyes:
Heres the choice i need to make, and need some help with:
My psych has prescribed my fluoxatine 20mg to start the day after i take my last venlafaxine, BUT, she has also agreed to me taking sertraline again instead, choice is kinda mine!
So, thats the choice i need to make, do i give fluoxatine a go, or do i just go back onto sertraline?
Any help would be greatfully recieved, as i only have 24 hours to decide, and i really don't know which is the best option!
