Hi, Ashbo0o! I'm glad that you enjoyed reading my post, and I'm happy that you feel like you made the right decision for you and are doing well! You are def brave to have quit cold turkey, but it's...
Oh, yes. Anxiety gives me nausea and loose bowel movements, when I've been very stressed for several days. It gives me really bad heartburn, too. Try drinking a tiny bit of baking soda in 4 oz...
Hey there! Let me just say I am not a doctor, and I weaned myself off Zoloft without my doctor's permission...with success. Here's my little "journal" I've been posting to on this forum:...
Hey, if you happen to read this again, just wondering if you tried it. I want to know what you think....
Holy Basil is a natural herb that is native to India that Indians not only use for its healing properties, but use for cooking. It's literally a strain of basil. If you taste the liquid form of Holy...
I think it's great that you found what works for you, because I know how painful anxiety is. Zoloft did help me, quickly and effectively for the first year and a half I was on it. So I know it can...
Just wanted to make a quick, helpful post. An alternative to taking your benzo is taking 1 or 2 Holy Basil caplets. I use New Chapter brand. The Indian name for this is Tulsi. Works much more...
Oh, heck yes!! I've worked myself into a frenzy many a time!!!! Call someone you trust and rant to them, or do something physical, like going for a walk/run/doing an exercise tape. You can get rid of...
Try a dose of Benedryl. It's so weird, but it helps with withdrawal! Take a hot bath! Have some wine! Realize you are not perfect and be nice to yourself and let the symptoms go away....
Yup. When I get really bad anxiety, it happens to me. Happens to my mom, too. Mine happens to be getting better recently. It's completely "normal." It's just embarrassing and you think people notice...
Tomorrow will be 2 full weeks off of my Zoloft. Yesterday, I had the faintest, littlest brain zaps. I took a Benedryl, and they were gone. As I've been progressing over this 6 week journey, I have...
Zoloft helped me for about a year, year and a half. Now that I stopped taking Zoloft, I realize it actually gave me anxiety. I feel better since I stopped it. Maybe your system just hasn't adjusted...
So, FYI, I told my HR manager today (thanks, Scaredycat), and it turns out that I didn't even show up dirty in the drug screen. She said I probably didn't have enough in my system (as mentioned in...
I am not at all adverse to it. In fact, I was thinking about telling my new boss via email so she has it tomorrow morning (I'm due in at 8 tomorrow am) or just trying to somehow pull her aside and...
So, just started a new job today. They urine drug tested us. I saw on the form it lists benzos. I have a prescription for xanax...which I happened to take today. So, now I'm paranoid I'm going to...
Honey. Please check out my post I keep updating about how I am currently weaning myself off of Zoloft. Then, search these message boards for weight loss and Zoloft. Also, read this very popular...
Just wanted to post a quick little update while I could think of it. My withdrawal side effects lasted *uncomfortably* for 3 days. I am still having a LITTLE withdrawal, but I feel sooo good. Other...
Congrats to you, too! It's good to hear from someone else who is pushing on through!!!...
I can have my morning cup (maybe even 2) of coffee, but I can't drink coffee after 12 noon. If I do, it'll set me off for hours....
Thanks, Kitt! Time for an update. I felt very good on only 1/4 of Zoloft. So good, that I skipped the last two days of taking 1/4 and went down to 0 Zoloft. So, I am on my third day of zero Zoloft....
Forgot to mention: Week 2: Vision started to clear up a little bit. For real....
~This is a post about a 27 year-old woman who is ALMOST done weaning herself off of Zoloft!~ Come this September, 2012, I would have been on Zoloft for 3 years to treat my (mostly) Social Anxiety...
