Just follow how your doctor wants you to do it. I switched from celexa to zoloft years ago and actually went down on one while I was going up on the other, so as long as you are not doing on your own, in my opinion, you are doing the right thing. For me, when I ever I start, stop, or adjust dosage my anxiety actually increases for the first few weeks...it can take a few weeks for the body to adjust and for you to feel therapeutic effects from the medication.

Keep us posted!
