I mean personally seen what a person goes through. Dr.s should not be able to treat people with these medications if they haven't taken them themselves or seen what a person goes through trying to stop them. With her having no idea what I'm going through seeings how I can't get into see her for another 2 weeks. At the state I'm in now I'm contemplating going to the hospital. These Dr.s need to be better informed and keep their patients informed. She told me nothing about the severe side effects of starting Viibryd let alone the side effects of stopping Zoloft. I am going through a very hard time right now and the Zoloft aren't helping. Has anyone else had this problem? I am debating on stopping the Zoloft and was also wondering if I should go cold turkey to see if my eyes feel better but, it sounds like I should wean off? I also don't like the idea of being on meds but, if it helps with my sleep and depression.? My main issue is my eyes and head (behind my eyes) are killing me and I think it started when I started taking the Zoloft.

I still have moments where I want to cry but, I think that is related to the fact that I'm not sleeping which is some of the reason why I was put on the Zoloft. None of those side effects your talking about. Only side effect I'm getting is excessive drooling. What would Jesus do? Forgive me for saying so, but first, I don't believe He would use foul language, second, He would not condemn or judge.Īs Gandhi said: 'I would have become a Christian.and then I met one'.

There are so many different types of depression, and some people really need to stay on their medication. This article is meant for informational purposes only. I must advise that you shouldn’t do anything without consulting your healthcare professional. Information is power, so I encourage you to learn as much as you can about Zoloft and its side effects, and share this information with your doctors and other patients as well. The only difference is that your brain is broken, and they can’t see it. It is hard to admit to others when you have had a mental illness, but I always liken it to a broken leg. You also need to remind yourself that the side effects are just side effects, and they will wear off with time. To properly wean yourself off of SSRIs, you need to reduce the dosage very slowly-maybe even less than 50 mg at a time. The fear and anxiety surrounding the side effects will only worsen the problem. It is important to understand that, although you may feel like you are becoming depressed again, your low mood is just a side effect of the reduction in serotonin levels in the brain. This is what my doctor did not warn me about. You may feel that without it, you cannot feel normal, and indeed, the side effects include depressive moods and sleeplessness. With continuous use of SSRIs like Zoloft, you may become psychologically dependent on the drug to lift your mood and make you feel better. Zoloft can be highly addictive, but not for the same reasons as other drugs like nicotine or cocaine. After a while, I started feeling better, so I thought I would try tapering off again, only this time, I searched online for advice instead of my doctor.

I decided to increase the dose up again-I took as much as 200 mg-and just kept taking them.

You off. please dont quit.
