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...
Well guys, I took 25mg (which is what I was taking up until 3 days ago) to try and get through this phase of withdrawal until I can get in to see my doc. Thanks for at least helping me realize this...
Angelic_Victory, Isn't it crazy how Baths are something you crave because of the few minutes of relaxation!?! Did you have the bad dreams? Sleep used to be one of my favorite things ever, but I'm...
Thanks Karen! Did you go back on the med long-term, or just to get through withdrawal?...

JB1, THanks so much! That sounds like an interesting book! I'll look into it this evening!...
Hi Nina! THanks so much for your advice! I think you're right, tapering off slowly (even slower than you want) is the ticket! I'm on day 5 of 150mg and have had no withdrawal symptoms. However, I...
Thank you again, Trina! I continue to welcome stories and experiences of others who have weaned off of such a high dosage and from those who have taken to more natural approaches to healing....
Trina, Thanks for the reminder! I had forgotten that I'd read about seizures. Would you suggest I go to my GP or to a psychiatrist? My current counselor is not licensed to do meds. It's very scary...
Hello all, This is my first post and I'd like to get your thoughts and input on my story and my new "plan" for living healthy. I'm 32 yrs old, and have been on 200mg/day of zoloft for Generalized...
