Ok, so maybe I'm not going crazy! I had been on Zoloft for years, and my dose had been doubled 2
years ago. About 2 weeks ago I went to my doc complaining about weight gain. She said that the
Zoloft can cause weight gain, so she switched me to Wellbutrin. She never suggested weaning off
Zoloft. Now I feel queasy, nauseated, and just plain yucky! To complicate matters, I was sick for
a few days and had a sinus infection, so I thought maybe that was causing these problems. Or maybe it
was a side effect of Wellbutrin. But after reading these messages and a note from the Neurology and
Neurosurgery Forum, I'm pretty sure it's Zoloft withdrawal! I do have some Xanax which I use for
REALLY bad days, so I think I'll use a little of that to help me through this period.
Oh, one good note, in the 2 weeks since I stopped Zoloft, I lost 6 pounds! (Of course being so queasy
could have helped)
Good luck to everyone!
