hi everyone. I was on sertraline 150 mg for a year or so for general anxiety. it worked really well but i put on so much weight that my doc suggested changing to prozac 20mg. it was ok for a few months but recently my anxiety has been rearing its head again and i find myself taking 2mg diaz sometimes, whereas on sertraline i got to the point of not needing it. do you think I'm not on a high enough dose of prozac or is it just not as good for anxiety? I'm considering going back on sertraline because even on prozac ive lost only very little weight. being menopausal doesnt help! also my libido is rubbish on prozac. any advice please?
Hi Julie,
I was on 5mg Diaz which always worked well but it can either
A) get addictive
B) the body gets used to it and needs more for same effect
I used it as required not all the time.
Peace 
thanks Zen, yes i know not to take diaz often - on sertraline i didnt need it at all once i was on 150 mg.
prozac is just not working as well. or the dose isnt right.
bearing in mind im on it for anxiety not depression, does anyone else think sertraline is better than prozac?
Hey, Im currently going through peri menopause are you taking hrt?
