Q: If you are on 100mg to 150mg of Zoloft how would Effexor compare?
The only valid comparison for you would be the one done by you. There is just no way to extrapolate a result from others and tell how either would work for you. We all just seem to react differently to medications and various dose amounts. The only way to know is your trying each and giving each enough time to begin working.
These were part of Merely Me's medication reviews:
You can read member comments on Zoloft.
And member comments on Effexor.
Health Central has detailed information about Zoloft.
They also have information about Effexor.
Effexor seems to have cause trouble with withdrawal among some members here, in particular. You may want to read the member's comments in Merely Me's reviews, especially. But it has also worked well for some. That's what I mean about only you can test how they will work for you.
