I have been on Zoloft for almost ten years. I went to my psychiatrist and was told I should switch to Viibryd. I don't want to take it.

I have read about the side effects of nausea and diarrhea. I can't have that! I need to be at work and I also stand all day at work. I can't be running to bathroom.

I also took Zoloft way back and withdrew off of it. It was awful!!! I think I took a year to withdraw gradually and I still had side effects for months later!! I even told myself I would NEVER take antidepressants again after that!!

Then I had to move in with relative and was extremely stressed and that is why I am still on it. I am basically taking Zoloft just so I don't have to deal with withdrawal.

And how could I just stop cold turkey and take another drug??? Won't I be all messed up and sick with side effects???
