What Can I Take Besides Prozac While On Zoloft?

Hi, I take Zoloft for depession. It has worked very well, but I am now feeling like I have trouble focusing and concentrating. What other anti-depressants are there beside prosaic? I have an appointment with my medical provider the end of this month and want to do some research so that I am well informed to side effects, how well other mecidiations work, etc. Deanna

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Its advised that if there was significant improvement by a drug it should be continued. For remaining symptoms augmentation of antidepressant medications is preferred. Augmentation options include adding a second antidepressant medication from a different pharmacologic class, or adding adjunctive medication such as lithium, modafinil, thyroid hormone, an anticonvulsant, etc. You can also benefit by adding psychotherapy with Zoloft.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit Kothari
