I've been taking Prozac 20 mg at night with 200 mg trazodone only to find out you should never use them together. I'm now out of the Prozac & am switching to Zoloft 25 mg starting tonight. Is there a probability of any side effects or issues that I should look for? Thanks in advance.
Switching from Prozac to Zoloft?

The risk of serotonin syndrome is very rare and your doctor may have determined the benefits are greater than the risk to you. These medications are often prescribed together because they are different classes of antidepressants. The same risk applies to using trazodone and Zoloft together.
You can use the following links to thoroughly acquaint yourself with Zoloft and it's potential side effects. The other link is to serotonin syndrome and you should be aware of it's symptoms because it's very easily treatable in the early stages.
