hi mekki, I've not been on for a long time. I was doing well zoloft free, then had a bit of a set back and was in the dumps or a while...I'm back...I've gone back to work and things seem to be good...
PS. I was DX's situational depression - NEVER had any thoughts or behaviors like this before....was always just a little sad sometimes when there were really stressful things happening in my life......
Thankfully I found you all too............... I've been zoloft free now for...well...I've forgotten...6 weeks or so? and I'm very slowly seeing a weight decrease but what is more amazing is not the...
Jaymay, I really only started to feel 'normal" about 5 days ago. Had a bad day yesterday, was grumpy and wanted to pick fights, but recognized that and stated my feelings out loud so others were...
Michigan! 8 inches of snow last night! "I'm dreaming of a white christmas" la la la la la la la la Jaymay, what is CBT?...
Oh Mekkie....you dear....I can't speak for everyone on here, but I've certainly felt like you are. Thats one reason I went on the Zoloft...and how I felt when I tried to wean off the first...
Hey guys - I think that the weight gain/loss is different for everyone. I weaned off too quickly the first time I tried to get off and I had a lot of trouble, plus, weight actually crept up still....
I'm not so sure :-) even with the added weight gain KWIM? LOL Hang in there, it is definately worth it. My husband said he is so glad to have the real me back!...
Hey Jaymay I've now been off Zoloft for 10 days. The last 5 were hairy, I was dizzy and had terrible daily headaches. I was starting to question my sanity for going off, and I really tapered off very...
Jaymay, was completely off and was doing well.. but kind of seemed to have a set back last night, anxious, sad, angry...too much soo or so it seemed...again, maybe its me feeling REAL emotions again,...
Oh! one more thing...did anyone weaning off or being completely off the meds get any itching? I mean deep tissue itching you can't get at?...
jaymay, been re-reading some of the previous posts and you mentiond5htp, I know what that is, what is theanine and what combo of B vit's are you taking. I took a 25 mg last night, was really moody...
PS. I strongly recommend that while you are weaning off, you start exercising frequently...it helps. I've noticed this week that the weather has been bad and I've not gone out to walk and I am a...
VERY SLOWLY... As far as attention, Zoloft can effect that as well. I noticed that once I finally got off of it, my attention span was longer, I had greater attention to detail. and NOTHING was...
and how is the anxiety? I'm assuming that it's manageable? Did you have the weight gain as well?...
oops, re-read what your wrote previously jaymay...you are weaning off and taking the 25mgs....are you having a hard time with the weaning? I had some rough days...feeling light headed...headaches,...
I was on 50mg. I've read that a lot of people on here were taking 150...I couldn't imagine taking that amount...but I guess it is dependent upon what you are taking it for. You said that you were...
I guess when I say edgy, I am really feeling stuff for the first time in a year. Sadness makes me cry again, but not uncontrobably like before. I feel nervousness now...sometimes I can feel...
I've noticed that since I've been off the zoloft, expecially today, I'm edgy...It certainy does work...I just hated feeling nothing and getting very fat in the process......
Thanks, I hope that you are doing well too. Depression is not easy...neither are the drugs...Blessings to you...
HI Jaymay, No, it was not for PMS although it sure did help that...if being emotionless is helpful...anyway I was on the Zoloft for situational depression, lost my mom, then lost my job within 3...
Hi guys, just wanted to let you know a couple of things. I went to the dr and he gave a schedule to wean off....very slowly. I was on 50 mg. Been completely off for 5 days and I feel soooo much...
I too have gained weight on Zoloft...amazingly, during the first 2 weeks I lost 10 lbs, but have since gained 30 lbs over the last 18 months. I tried cutting my doasage from 50 mg to 25 mg and did...
