Zoloft vs celexa

Pigeon21

Should a patient be on zoloft and celexa at the same time. I have a patient on celexa 20mg that started 5/17/11. She was previously on Zoloft 200mg daily that has been decreased to 100mg daily x7 days then 50mg x7days then d/c. My problem is this combination of the two. Should she have finished the tapering of zoloft before starting the celexa?

Yes, I agree with lilly moon. I have heard about sertinine syndrome and have a friend who had it. I am not sure, but I think it can be dangerous. I am not a doc but my opinion is taper the zoloft and start the celexa slowly and then build up. I have had to do that with meds.
