"i was on zoloft for 8 years and my doctor first tried to ween me off that and put me on effexor.  it was miserable.  i am sure some of it was related to the withdrawal from zoloft, but i was eventually able to transition to lexapro without the same problems.  this medicine made me extremely nauseous.  i had a horrible headache and was so depressed my family cried from being around me."
