I had weight gain on zoloft but all these meds put weight on me I can't win....
I'm on propheidon and clonazepam, the main side effects I find are tiredness, but that could be the other 3 drugs they've got me on. Zoloft use to give me a dry mouth....
Hi I came off zoloft cold turkey by my old pscyhs orders......never do it that way. I'm currently just finishing coming off cymbalta i've tried most the new meds and am now being put onto prothiedon....
Well the dark thoughts have passed, now I just feel depressed. I'm so sick of all the swapping of meds trying to find one to work....
I'm on 10mgs a day of cymbalto and only notice some dizziness in the evenings. My friend said she's noticed I'm more drugged out then usual lol, but with all the drugs they've tried me on what else...
Hi Jodes welcome to the forum....

When I first started on zoloft I noticed some improvement within 2 weeks but the full effects are usually 6 to 8weeks....
I'm on 4mgs of clonazepam a day and handle it well. Starting on 7mgs would knock you around a bit, the same with the valium you were started on a larger dose so some side effects are to be expected....
I'm actually weaning off my day dose of zyprexa I was on 5mgs morning and night. The main side effects are weight gain and increased blood sugars oh and if taken at day it makes me sleepy. It does...
Last time I saw the dentist I was already on regular valium which helped. I'm glad your visit went ok....
I'm on both of those meds and haven't had a problem. One med that is known for it is zyprexa which makes me 10days late yet my pms starts at day 25 still so I get the extra 10days of it, ARGH!...
I've been on clonazepan for over a year, starting at 2mgs a day and now take 4mgs a day. If it works for you ,don't be afraid to take it. All the psych meds have a level of addiction just try...
I also have about 10days before of pmt and a couple of days into my period, my anv=xiety but also my moods and really dark thoughts torment me....
I feel empty a lot of the time, it's like I'll never feel normal again.....an awful feeling....

I've had a few but had been panic free for a couple of years when bang just over 2 years ago we were in the car going to the BILs and I was looking up his address. I looked up and thought where am I...
The clonazepam should counter effect the withdrawal and hopefully you won't have too much trouble, good luck....
I'm actually back on zoloft, they're trying all sorts of augumenting drugs first....
Here's hoping for a safe and sane Easter for everyone....
I was a complete mess Kitt, physically I had seizures, couldn't walk straight, couldn't see. It was meant to be an example of how not to withdraw. Mentally it hit me 3 weeks into it. A slow...
Do you mean .5mgs of klonopin? I'm on 4mgs a day and that's quiet high....
The psych I was seeing at the time took me off200mgs of zoloft after 12yrs in 2 days. If done correctly you should experience only minor problems and your psych can offer you some valium etc for the...
Normally the lower the dose the more you sleep on it. Do you think it just may have been your brain worrying too much that gave you the sleepless night....
I found with my zoloft it was a week or 2 bfore I noticed the increase....

Hi, I hope you're starting to feel a bit better, know we're all here and know what it's like....
A lot of pdocs won't give you the standard anti-anxiety meds because they're so addictive. Trying stopping any med and you'll probably find some form of withdrawal. I just wish the pdocs would look...
I'm sorry smooter, I just sat with one of my dogs while she passed recently and had to re-home my other baby. I know it's messing with my mind badly and isn't helping with the anxiety....
Well I saw my doctor and she said to me " I don't know what to do with you" How is that suppose to make me feel? I've been in tears and my mind won't stop going over and over. She did say to try...
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm heading up to see my normal doc today as theres no one else I can see. I found the higher bit of clonazepam has helped slightly so don't know whether to up it ir...
I'm sorry for your loss Jamie, quite a few of the SSRI's are known for suicide tendancies. Within days of starting Aropax I was suicidial and had to stop it straight away, prozac also to a lesser...
VIEW IMAGE I'm on zyprexa which is an anti -psychotic. With my depression I sometimes get really bad thoughts that play on endlessly and the med works on stopping these. Quite a few anti-psychotics...
My anxiety has creeped up so bad even though I've been taking the clonazepan and had the zyprexa increased. I don't think the anti d's working but the problem being we are meant to go away to...
Why do doctors always want to mess with meds that are working and when they don't work they leave you on them. ARGH, also I know all about zoloft withdrawal never believ e that it doesn't cause one....
You're like me hyper sensitive to meds. Don't you love the way they say ADs aren't addictive yet everyone I've ever met on them has suffered withdrawals when stopping them....
I hope the celexa works well for you. I think that I may need a change but I'm also scared of some of the side effects you can have. Congrats on getting a job, it's a starting point and baby steps is...
A lot of it is familiar to me as well. I hate the way the mood just goes from happy to scared so quickly....
Thanks Kitt, today was a bit better so here's hoping as th drug kicks in I can return to a decent life, we're going away in 2 weeks so I really don't want to ruin it for any of us....
A psych nurse told me to think of these things like the annoying pop-ups you get on your computer. You don't want them and they don' mean you want to do the thngs you see in yur head so it's a matter...
I'm on zoloft, and found it a miracle for 12years now I don't really know if it's working to it's full extent but I don't want to change anymore. I also take zyprexa which works on helping to stop...
