I took fluoxetine for about 6 months before I switched. I have always found it difficult to ask for a change - tend to feel it's my fault they haven't worked, that I'm doing too much / too little, or the wrong thing. After that I took trazodone for a couple of months - good for sleep, not good for anything else - then took venlafaxine as well, and then have changed a few times since then. The later switches were suggested by my pdoc, I didn't have to ask.
How about you?
