I'm in between seeing a new doctor, and wanted to see if anyone had any input.
A few things: I get those 'shocks' coming off of ssri's, and I want to avoid them. I want to avoid serotonin syndrome of course. The reason why I want the switch is because the prozac at 40mg isn't doing much but preventing my 'shock' withdrawal symptom. Also a while back when I was self-medicating, I used SJW and had wonderful effects, so I would like to recreate the enhanced mood effects I had. Is there a way I could titrate down off the prozac, and up on the SJW at the same time to avoid both the shocks and SS?
I've successfully transitioned from Effexor to the Prozac in an exact situation, so I know it's possible.
Any thoughts?
