Zoloft to Duloxetine
Earlier in 2025 I tried Zoloft for post partum depression. It caused me to have heart palpitations, and panic attacks. Which I never had prior to. The side effects outweighed the positive effects. I decided to get off of it and still felt a bit not myself. My doctor prescribed me Duloxetine 30mg. Based on my experience with Zoloft it makes me hesitant to try another one. I'm also on Atenolol for blood pressure(1/2 of the lowest dose), buspirone for anxiety, and Adderall XR. Not sure if that's helpful for my question or not.
Has anyone went from Zoloft to Duloxetine and had a positive outcome? With the initial sife effects and long term effects? Does it cause heart palpitations or increased blood pressure? I'm just more fearful of the palpitations and panic attacks. The nausea, fatigue, ect I can handle. I have a really good doctor so I'm sure he wouldn't set me up for failure. Guess I'm just wondering about the difference in the two and how it helps or doesn't.
