Dear Onthatile,
Urbanol has to be taken at night. You can take serdep during the day, if you remember to take it daily. People tend to forget daytime medications. At the age of 19 years, it better that you learn to manage your anxieties in non medical methods like JPMR or CBT

Hi,

Sometimes it may take 3 weeks to take effect.

Also, very importantly, you may need to modify the dosage or add something else to feel more better sooner.

It's not like that you can't take both medication simultaneously. But there should be some reason to combine medications. If you have optimum dose of one drug than only you can go for combination therapy for same problem.

Weight gain can happen using psychiatric medicines. You should be eating carefully avoiding processed foods like bread, biscuits, ice creams, less sugar, oil & salt. Avoid too much milk and milk products. Combine fruits, vegetables, salads etc with your regular food.

Sertraline is an ssri, it should be safe if your liver and kidney are healthy. Sertraline usual dose is around 50 mg. Usually antidepressants are taken long term as opposed to benzodiazepines that are short term. You should be fine, given you exercise daily, stay relaxed. There is no such thing as safest antidepressant, all antidepressants have their own side effects profile.
But you may try mirtazapine as it has least side effects.

My doctor is changing me from sertraline 200 mg to escitalopram 20 mg, because of ongoing side effects on sertraline. This is the cross taper schedule: for 6-7 days: reduce from 200 mg to 150 mg sertraline further 6-7 days: reduce from 150 mg to 100 mg sertraline further 6-7 days: reduce from 100 mg sertraline to 50 mg sertraline and add 5 mg escitalopram further 6-7 days: reduce 50 mg sertraline to 25 mg sertraline, increase escitalopram to 10 mg. To finish: stop sertraline altogether, continue with 20 mg escitalopram. Does this cross taper seem okay? I am trying to reduce the risk of sertraline withdrawal. I also have a fear of vomiting. Is this schedule likely to make me vomit? Or should I avoid most withdrawal? I am on my second week now, so I am now on 100 mg sertraline. What side effects can be expected when going from 150 mg-100 mg sertraline? Thanks for the help and information.

Hi lybrate-user! I understand you are faced with a lot of confusion at the moment. It may be in your best interest to follow the regimen prescribed by your psychiatrist and openly discuss your fear of withdrawal and induction of vomiting with him. The regimen of psychiatric medication is very essential. It maybe helpful to go along with their recommendation. If you see any side effects, complete the dosage as prescribed and then follow up with your doctor. Sometimes side effects come from your b...more
