Doctor wants me to drop from Effexor XR 75 to Effexor 37.5 XR adding Prozac 10mg. I don't want Prozac because I have heart rhythm issue. I will ask about Zoloft instead because it gets positive reviews (mostly.) What has been your experience doing this?

I have gone Effexor, I did not go to another anti-depressant. I did want to respond to this to make sure you have been told that Effexor can be a difficult medication to get off. I don't know if this changes because you plan to go to another. But there is a lot of information out there about Effexor withdrawal and how to avoid it. The below link is an example of a medical proved site that goes over this information. Patients aren't always given this information and if I'm doing this is unneeded on part, forgive me
