Switching from Lexapro to Prozac

Hello and welcome!

I do not have experience with meds and this particular switch...but I believe that even though you stayed in the same classification of drugs, there are still the same start up expectations (2-6 weeks for the med to build up and level off)...however, you may avoid many of the side effects, since your body has been through this before. Everyone is different however, and reacts differently to certain medications, so I am afraid you will just have to wait and see.

I certainly wish you the best in your change and hope that it all works out really well for you. Keep posting with us here. It helps to talk to others who share similar struggles and understand!

Talk to you soon.:)

Hi,

Thank you for the link to the article amd good wishes. The transition has not been as easy as my Dr expected. I went from sleeping 8 or 9 hours to only sleeping about 4-5 hours plus I have wicked ringing in my ear. It has benn two weeks and the mornings are still rough. The good part is I am losing weight as the Lexapro made me gain about 40lbs.

I am hopeful though and will hang in there.

Thanks for your response
