I'm currently taking Buspar and my Doctor said it's ok to switch to SSRI's (prozac/fluoxetine) the next day.  Has anyone actually done this before?  I just wanted to confirm if it's a sure thing.... Since SSRI's meds is very dangerous........... Plz share ur experiences.


Thank you.

I know i trust my doctor but still.....i just wanted to be "safe" that's why.  Before taking any meds that can be fatal when it interacts with certain meds...then I feel worried.  I know Everyone is different.....but since no one says anything===> i feel less worried :)

Thanks all for sharing ur experiences!

Please understand that WE, the people who have the disorders, really can't confirm -or deny- that your doctor's advice and instruction is correct, or not, for you. The most anyone here can give you is their personal experience, if they did the very same thing you are being counseled to do.

And that experience could only be regarded as trustworthy if the person were your identical twin -otherwise, because everyone is different -different health, different constitution, different history - then the results of doing the exact same thing may turn out differently as well.

It may be interesting to note the experience of others so you have some feeling of familiarity with what happens -but, please, I'm beggin' you- please don't expect us or ask us to "confirm if it's a sure thing."

Be well my friend and please DO let us know how it went for you.
