I didn't understand how you are both tired & wired by just taking the Zoloft and not the other drugs? You can't be tired & wired at the same time!
The main problem is that the Zoloft prolongs the duration of effects of Cocaine by up to twice as long & potentiates its effects so you are more likely to overdose, & less likely to quit because of the increased pleasurable effects.
Substitution of Ritalin or Wellbutrin SR instead of the Cocaine is a good way to quit if you are addicted. Personally, I think I got higher from snorting Ritalin than Cocaine & the euphoria lasts way longer anyways. But Ritalin is alot easier to quit (snorting) & just use like a normal person (orally)- it works better & lasts 3 times when you swallow the pill rather than abuse it anyways. I also read about a few medical studies where cokeheads were successfully weaned off the 'white' with Ritalin.
Stay far, far away from amphetamines like Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Desoxyn- with your history, you will become a full on speed-freak almost guaranteed!
The marijuana will probably just lower your motivation & turn you into a pot head "burnout".
If you can't sleep, maybe try a small sub-therapeutic dose (7.5-15 mg) of the non-addictive anti-depressant Remeron an hour before bedtime.
