Guest guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 My daughter (16) is on 150 mg daily of zoloft(for ocd) and 30 mg daily of amitryptylline(for migraines). She has been on this dose of zoloft for over 2 years. She still has considerable unwanted thoughts that she alleviates by asking me questions and repeating things to me. Her doctor (family doctor) is switching her from zoloft to prozac. He said she could just stop zoloft and begin prozac, but I thought there had to be a tapering off period. He said since I was concerned to follow this schedule: decrease zoloft to 100 mg for 1 week, then 50 mg for 1 week, then stop altogether - at same time as tapering to begin prozac at 20 mg per day for 2 weeks, then increase to max dose of 40 mg. Does this schedule seem appropriate for the switch? Thank You, Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
