I have been complaining about this very thing to my dr. and he says 'so what'-he makes me so mad!
What I experienced was extreme and what sent me to the dr. for blood tests to see if I was OK (and I NEVER go to a dr-that is how bad it was) . .
After being on zoloft 8 yrs i started feeling more and more hypoglycemic, then it got extreme- even to the point where food or juice wouldn't help and I couldn't even drink coffee without getting sick. I was constantly feeling sick, weak, shaky and trembly and on the verge of passing out. Nothing I did food, sleep or drink-wise seemed to affect this, so I sensed it was the meds.
I went to the dr. for various blood tests and they said nothing was really wrong with me.
Well, I haven't taken zoloft for a couple months now and I haven't really been that bad feeling-except of course for anxiety and depression(!!) because I'm trying out various other meds and there is nothing I like yet.
But I knew it couldn't be just me feeling this, and I knew it wasn't just in my head (This is something I think my dr. believes).
I don't know what kind of AD to go on now- I don't want this physical thing to happen again. I thought it might just be SSRI's, but celexa is not an ssri, is it?
