Where to begin...
I am a college student. I had been on 200mg of zoloft for about 5yrs, but I wasn't seeing a psychiatrist, my dad is a doctor and he had been prescribing the pills for me. I finally decided it was time to see an actual psychiatrist. I have, and recently I have been weaning down the zoloft-- 150mg for a week, 100mg for about 3 weeks, and today is my second day on 50mg. My doctor also gave me straterra yesterday. I am really happy about that because I am so frustrated with everything because I can't concentrate or focus. Every time I try to sit down and study or write a paper, nothing gets done. I am failing all my classes as of now. I was suspended after last semester, but I got a "retroactive" health leave, so my F's were turned into W's (withrawals) and I was allowed to return this semester. I have decidedd that if I get suspended again, I'm just not going to come back. It was so hard over the summer when I thought I was suspended....for a few days, I almost didn't survive it....
Unfortunately, the straterra won't start working until I reach a higher dose in like 3-6 weeks.....If I am suspended, telling my parents will be the hardest thing in the world.
Does anyone else have a similar drug experience? Or any experience or any thoughts about anything else in this post?
Today I am feeling kind of "down" and I don't really have much of an appetite, but I am eating. Is this a withdrawal symptom? Or possibly a side-effect of adding the straterra?Thank you to all who reply!
