How do I change my antidepressant?

Question

I have just changed medication, from Effexor to Prozac, and the "withdrawal" effects are too intense to continue my daily activities (nausea, loss of balance, feeling like my brain is receiving all information 2 seconds too late, etc.)

Hello, ma'am! Yes, it is possible to make a gradual transition, especially with Effexor, even if you take a small dose In order to personalize the consultation, document your file and keep your prescriber informed of the steps involved, I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will be the best equipped to help you in this transition, by adjusting the doses and also by developing a gradual schedule, according to your needs! I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
