Best laid plans.
I did not make it through day # 9 on my withdrawal. I felt like jumping off a cliff might be a good idea. Fortunately, understanding what was going on and not having a good medical support system behind me; I decided to take 50 mg last night, 50 today and then go back to my dose 25 mg tommorow and stay there for three to six months before going down to 12.5... I called my doc and he agreed and said (thru his nurse) to stop taking the St Johns Wort/Kava Kava while on the Zoloft.I feel normal today and just a little bit angry at the medical system for not warning us of the side effects of Zoloft withdrawal before putting us on it.
I have to say that it has been excellent for anxiety control. I have to give them that but knowing what I do now, I would rather put my money into a good yoga program and health club membership..I just want to be drug free.
