In reply to withdrawal from zoloft - need advice..., posted by missy77 on April 22, 2001, at 16:54:29
missy77,
I had a horrible time coming off Zoloft (it was horrible on it too but that is only MY experience) but I did get through it. It was several years ago when I took it but I can clearly recall how terrifying the withdrawal was. Talk to professionals about this. Therapy is a great idea.

FIND A NEW DOCTOR! I've been through umpteen medications and three doctors (we won't even begin the number of therapists I've had! then again I have moved frequently over the past ten years) and I have never regretted finding a new doctor when I felt my voice was not being heard. Yes, it is exhausting finding a new doctor or therapist but there is help out there. I do not have the resources at my fingertips that offer up helpful tips to better facilitate your search but I'm sure some other babbler here does...hint hint. Regaining your life is possible. I'm fighting hard for mine. You are not alone in this battle.Is there any other doc a GP or OBGYN that could help out? Just an idea. Ultimately a pdoc or psychopharmacologist would be the bees knees but until you find another consider other avenues to get you through the time being. I did have an old friend of the family doc help out in a pinch when I couldn't find a doc to work with. He prescribed my meds (I was stable and on a maintenance dose at that time) for the interim and offered up useful information about new medications I hadn't heard of yet.
