But it is up to the doctor to decide what dosage you need down to before it is safe to add the SSRI.

Like I said. A good doctor knows things like these.
You would have to be be near the end of a wash out, to cross taper ssri to say a snri to be resonably safe. Tapper straight over on a SSRI to another
. say 100mg sertraline to next day 20mg Lexapro no wash out nothing. ENGLISH don't do this, I learned this trick from America. if I change ssri to another they want me to wash out even thought same class. they saycome back in 2 weeks for your new med. ME I carry on using my old med right up to the new one with meds I make sure I have left. THAT WAY I GET NO WITHDDRAWL OR START UP , I make my own mind up if I trusted English doc,s I would be a cabbage
