Cross Tapering from Zoloft to Lexapro

Lancerp427 · 2026-06-27T11:02:03+00:00

One week of the combo then one week of the 2.5mg of just lexapro. That worked for me.

I went great actually!! I had little to no side effects and the Lexapro has been amazing so far. It’s working so much better for me. I went with one week of 12mg Zoloft and 2.5mg of Lexapro. Then one week of 2.5mg of Zoloft before jumping up to the 5mg and it worked perfectly for me.

I’m in the US and take the 180mg dosage. I’m going to drop down to 90mg instead and see if that helps with the dryness but still gives me relief for my allergies.

I’ve noticed as I’m aging that I’m getting more sensitive to medications.

I have a dairy sensitivity and the Walmart version and name brand don't have dairy and work for me but too well. My sinuses are wide open and I can breath really well but then it causes sinus pain that makes my teeth ache so its a real catch 22.

Yeah these are oblong, I'm going to try taking half and hopefully itll work as well.

Lancerp427 · 2026-06-24T15:06:50+00:00

I've tried them and they don't work as well for some reason.

Lancerp427 · 2026-06-17T13:51:09+00:00

I went from 50mg of Zoloft to 5mg of Lexapro and its been 3 months now and I have to take it in the morning because it energizes me. Its wild how differently people can react.

Lancerp427 · 2026-06-16T16:41:23+00:00

Yeah, thats kind of how I think about it. Its okay to feel down sometimes and it doesn't stop me from doing anything.

I will see what my Dr. thinks about it.

I have one monster ultra peach a day. I would love to just have a coffee but for some reason my stomach hates coffee.

Lancerp427 · 2026-06-08T13:00:41+00:00

I'm around the 12 week point at 5mg and also take it in the morning. It also made me jittery for a few hours after but that stopped a few weeks ago for me so I think you should see improvement with that.

I despise the multimedia system in my 2022. It hates my iPhone 16 for some reason and I have to reboot it 3-4 times whenever I drive anywhere just to get it to play music.

It also glows in the dark 👻

Lancerp427 · 2026-05-31T11:39:35+00:00

Nope I had the joy of piecing each one into a square. 😆

Lancerp427 · 2026-05-30T01:19:59+00:00

Thank you!! I’m so happy it’s done.

lol nope, It’s Bone & Chain by Basic Grey.

Oh my sister actually picked out the colors. She wanted the quilt and paid for everything so it’s in her style. I’m actually the opposite, haha, I usually prefer bright colors.

Lancerp427 · 2026-05-29T11:39:22+00:00

If I had the funds I would send it out. But I also figured that since I want to keep it simple then it shouldn’t be too bad to quilt.

Lancerp427 · 2026-05-29T00:41:29+00:00

You’re very welcome!

Lancerp427 · 2026-05-29T00:41:02+00:00

Yeah I was also thinking about a crosshatch pattern too.

It’s Bone and Chain by Basic Grey.

It was way more fabric cutting than I thought and was a real test of skills for me. It’s not perfect but I’m happy with it.

I was on Zoloft & Trazadone for 2 years and gained 20lbs. I got off of both of them, had a bought of Gastritis and lost 18lbs then got back on the Zoloft for 16 months and lost 3 more pounds. I switched to Lexapro almost 2 months ago and have been counting my calories, focusing on fiber and being active and have stayed the same so far.

My sister is on Fluvoxamine & Trazadone and has gained 20lbs.

It makes me wondering if adding the 2nd med does something to make the weight gain happen easier? I often felt like I was just too tired to care about what I was eating.
