Just wondered if any one had done this swap
I have been on 40mg of citalopram for quite a while now and now suffering badly from anxiety again.
The dr suggested that I swap from Citalopram to Sertraline...... straight swap, no taper from the Citalopram
the 40mg of Citalopram to a high dose of sertraline as "there isnt much point in being on a higher dose of Citalopram and going to a lower dose of Sertraline"
I have been told that it should be fine and I shouldn't have many side effects as the Citalopram and Sertraline are 'sister drugs' not sure what that means, I am presuming it means they are similar
The citalopram should be out of my system in 2 weeks and the Sertraline should be into my system in 2 weeks.
I am a bit skeptical though has anyone done this before??
