I've been on the sertraline 50mg for a month and it makes me sick. My eyes twitch on and off, I experience severe night sweats and my head feels as if I want to pass out. I was on fluoxetine 40mg for a while and had so side effects like on sertraline. How can I safely switch back to fluoxetine?
Changing from 50mg sertraline to 40mg fluoxetine?

Hi, Poppie!
Ask your doctor. You may need to taper off the sertraline or cross taper with the fluoxetine to avoid any discontinuation symptoms.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better quickly.
