Greetings...I've been on Zoloft for about 5 years and AderalXR as well. I would really appreciate advice on a change in meds. AderalXR 20mg/day is working great/ADD, but Zoloft 300mg/day has been loosing effectiveness/Depression. My doc recommended a change to Effexor; I have been on Effexor for about 5 days, and I'm worse off than when I was on Zoloft. Is this temporary? I am a bit concerned--Prior to Zoloft, I was on Wellbutrin for about 2 weeks, and I lost COMPLETE control of myself. Currently on Effexor, I have noticed short periods of rage. Any Advice???

My wife (age 25) is on Zoloft after being on Effexor for 8 months. There was a break in the middle when she tried Mirtazaphne/Remeron but that’s another story. Anyway Effexor was bad news for her. She was at 225mg by the time we married. (@ the 5 month mark.) It caused it her alot of drowsiness, nausea and agitation by that stage. There was also a loss of libido.

Dear Green1,
You should definitely discuss this with your Doctor, especially if you are taking a combination of meds or changing meds. People experience side effects differently, certain meds work well for some, but not for others.
