welcome ed and readytobeme, i have been posting for several months now to share my withdrawal story in hopes that it will help someone as others here have helped me. it's comforting to know i'm not...
it's a busy morning, so i'll keep this short. just a post to update my weaning process. i've got 10 more days on 12.5mg, then i'll be off. my emotions are always on my sleeve and i cry anytime...
well, i find myself crying again this morning as i scroll through my facebook news. i haven't been able to go to the gym b/c i sprained my ankle a week ago, so the blues are setting back in a little....
wow....i haven't posted since Feb. 4th! obviously, weaning is not at the forefront of my thoughts! i just wanted to give an update on my progress since this is quite a long road to complete recovery....
hi past ready! i'm glad you found this forum, too, as i did about a month ago. it's so nice to freely talk about these issues with people that can really empathize. i was posting on the previous...
while i've got a moment, i'm going to go ahead and post here! (before i forget! lol) so i haven't posted in almost 2 weeks....that's because we got somewhat of a surprise visit from the in-laws that...
hey stkitt, am i supposed to continue posting here or on the new thread? thanks, mrs. mommy...
almost a week @ 50% now. the physical effects i had on the first drop are not as apparent, but i am definitely feeling more moody and irritable. i haven't been able to work out because i've been...
thank you so much for the advice and understanding! i am feeling a bit more positive, and like you said, cutting myself some slack! i haven't had to take benadryl to sleep the last couple of nights,...
thanks for the encouragement!...
approaching the end of 2 weeks of decreasing from 100mg to 75mg. I have been itchy and sleepy, and have experienced some nausea in the past couple of days. my brain does seem to be more clear, but...
hello grammabert! thanks for posting. you're coming off more quickly than me, and it sounds like you're doing great! I notice my shaky hands when I type. please keep posting....I would like to know...
I can definitely tell a difference in how I feel (up or down) when I don't get enough rest. I usually only take half of a benedryl and it helps me sleep but not feel so drowsy the next day. maybe you...
hi belenbee! oh, I feel sorry for you! I don't think I've had any of these brain zaps, thankfully. I spent a lot of time reading this forum before I decided how I was going to go about weaning. I'm...
I did go and have a workout and it was a nice time to myself and time to think about something besides weaning from Zoloft. It is strangely ever-present on my mind. I had an angry day. I just felt...
thanks, scaredy cat. I will have to look through and see which worksheets I think will be beneficial, and i'll also read the article. all of this, of course, when I get a minute. the kids keep me...
thank you....I found it online and will check it out. thanks for the encouraging words and best wishes to you as you continue to learn to "live" again! I hope you'll continue to share as you progress...
I don't know if this question belongs in another topic or not, but the thing I fear the most about coming off of Zoloft is how I'm going to deal with my temper. More accurately described (in my...
oh, and some more symptoms that crept in that I neglected to mention: - indigestion - stuttering/stammering around for the right word when conversing...
wow, I cannot wake up today! it's already 4pm and I feel like I do before my first cup of coffee! dealing with anything today is dreadful and I'm moving in slow motion. I'm sure the dreary weather...
thanks for welcoming me! I, too, have had some anxiety about coming off, so I completely understand. it's been 2 days with 25% less Z, and I really can't tell any difference in the way I feel nor the...
Hi! I am new to this forum, but glad to find support. I am a 42 year old woman. I have been on Sertraline (generic for Zoloft) for almost 5 years. I never thought I'd be one to take an...
