Michaela20000 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Hello.I’m taking 2 ladose (prozac) of 20 mg every day. But I realised that previously when i was taking one cipralex (lexapro),I was feeling much better and I want to start taking again this peel. But I don’t know how to pass from prozac to lexapro. I heard that the best is to reduce the prozac before I start taking the Lexapro.Could you please help me and tell me what I can do? (Now I’m taking one prozac when I wake up and one at night at 10 o’clock. Please answer me if you can!

Michaela20000 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Posted September 29, 2019 I started taking Lexapro last year because of panic attack disorder and depression. I was taking it since the end of that summer and I was great! But I had a problen at waking up in the morning. So I started the prozac one and I’m taking from the end of the summer (last days of August) since now. I’m taking one when I wake up and one at ten o’ clock at night,but I had a better mood with the Lexapro.So I’m thinking of start taking it again..I do not want to try other pilla therefore
Michaela20000 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Posted September 29, 2019 I was taking one Lexapro every night at ten o’clock

Moderator Emeritus Sassenach Posted September 30, 2019 Moderator Emeritus Posted September 30, 2019 Michaela You are almost certainly having withdrawal symptoms from the swap from Cipralex to Prozac. If you try and change back it will make you worse.

Michaela20000 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Slowly I started reducing the Lexapro and then I took Prozac,I’m taking them since the last days of August
Michaela20000 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Because of Lexapro I couldnt wake up in the morning,I was sleeping very heavy. So my psychiatrist told me to start Prozac...But I was the best version of myself with Lexapro...I was the happiest person alive and miss myself when I was taking it Please help me..I miss me so much
Michaela20000 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 My psychiatrist told me that I will be good with Lexapro if I fix the time that I sleep But I was much happier with the Lexapro
Michaela20000 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 I was taking one 20 mg Lexapro at night and then the Prozacs 20 mg again
