Hello,
I've spent the last 4 months weaning myself off of zoloft, with help from doctors. I'm now 4 days into being completely zoloft free. I was so excited to get to this point, but I'm not realizing that I may be meant to be on meds for the rest of my life.
I'm extremely emotional. Cry at the drop of a hat. I have completely illogical and unwarranted rage. An elderly woman pulled her cart out in front of me at the grocery store, and it felt like my head was going to explode with pure evil.
I'm so tired of going to doctors when something doesn't feel right. All they can do is tell me what's "supposed" to happen. It takes 10 more doctors appointments to figure out what's really going on and all of the co-pays and other expenses that go with it.
It would be great to get advice from those who may have gone through this. Is this something that will end, and I'll eventually be "balanced out?" Is this something I should give some more time, or is it possible that I'm someone who will never be free of anti-depressants?
As a point of reference. I was on 200mg (the highest dose possible, I think) of Zoloft for almost 14 years.
