How long do the withdrawal symptoms of mirtazapine and trazodone last? How long does it take for zoloft to start working or taking effect?

Withdrawal from trazodone is very dose dependent. What dose were you taking? Excessive sweating, sleep disturbances and palpitations may take a few days to 2 weeks to completely disappear.

Finally, the time it takes for Zoloft (sertraline) to start working depends on the dose initially prescribed and the rate of dose increase. The faster Zoloft reaches doses considered "on target," the faster you will feel the effects. Knowing the pattern of switching from mirtazapine to Zoloft, I could answer your question.

Thank you very much for the information.

It is certain that by stopping the Trazodone 75mg "cold turkey", you were suffering from withdrawal symptoms. However, considering that it has been 7 days since the drug was discontinued, the symptoms should disappear over the next 3 to 7 days or so.

The "cross-over" from mirtazapine to sertraline is quite rapid, so you should feel the effects of Zoloft in about 2 to 3 weeks. The full effect could appear in 4 to 8 weeks. It is very relevant that you have been prescribed Ativan while waiting for your new medication to take effect.

Does this answer your question?

Exactly! They are also more likely to disappear when the anxiety is well controlled.

For the time it takes for the antidepressant to take effect, it is thought that the effect of this type of medication is primarily caused by a remodeling of the neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. In other words, antidepressants change the amount of neurotransmitters in the brain fairly quickly, but this is not what would cause the majority of the effects of these drugs. Of course, the remodeling of the receptors happens much more slowly, which causes the delay.

Is my answer clear enough?
