Hi Books,
I was under the impression that it was ok to stop Zoloft rather suddenly from my pdoc! So, still not heeding her advice, I took myself off of it kinda gradually; from 200 to 100 the next week to 50 and then off. And that obviously wasn't slow enough. That pdoc is long gone and I've hadanother one lately who is overworked and not withme inthis process at all. I had also started Wellbutrin two weeks at the end and the side effects I was experiencing from the Zoloft w/drawal I figured it was the wellbutrin;so stoppedthat. (b/c of what mydoc said). (I wasn'tabout to take anything againthat gave me those electrical shock things). Now I realize it was zoloft w/drawal worse than effexor w/drawal. (and probably wasn't the WB) I think it's easing up a bit now; the electrical things and nauseousness; but then I got themood swings. I was off allmeds for about two weeks reluctant to take anything as i am/was not getting good help. But last week, in therapy it was quite obvious I was eitherinthe moodswings w/drawal from zoloft orfalling into another depression. So I beganthestarter pack of Serzone fourdays ago. we'll see. Sometimes, I think i'm improving but then I'll have a "moment" of complete irrationality and hysteria and realize that I'm not ok.
we'll see. ifyou want we can e-mail each other regarding this tracking since we're experiencing similar situations.
good luck.
Katia
