1YEAR AND STILL FEELING SICK!!!

Hello.

has anyone ever started on Zoloft and just went cold turkey? I did that I went up to 100mg and I felt better no symtoms of anxiety so I stopped completely ! my doc told me to decrease to 75mg but I didn't listen. I stoped and felt great for about 8months and than boom it hit me I started feeling horribl!!! I had no choice but to to start up the meds I started to high I went to 50mg right away and it hit me so hard I lost weight and had really bas insomnia! I went down to 25mg and than went up and stayed on 50mg for about 8 months wasn't feeling ok increased to 75 it helped alittle but still felt bad. so now im on 100mg but this second time around was horrible its been almost a year and its taking forever to feel normal again!!!!!! has anyone ever experience this?

i did the same thing with mitrazapine. big mistake. im on zoloft now myself and would never do the cold turkey again. doing it like that really screws up the chemicals in your brain and it doesnt know whether its coming or going. it took me ages to feels normal again ( if servere health anxiety is normal&#129315wink. id stick with the same dose untill you start feeling normal again. if you want to come off them again in the future decrease very slowly as the doctor would defo recommend.

hope you feel better soon sarah
