oh yeah going off any anti-depressant is tough.....im not sure why your off it....depression can get worse when you go off meds...so be careful and be sure to talk to your doc if things get worse....

if your going off zoloft with out your doctors advise then i would sujest thinking twice, you need to wean off it and it can be difficult....talk to you doc....ok???

I have been on and on zoloft many times. Sometimes I would just run out of my prescription and not have funds to get more of it, or some other situation threw me off the meds. Just recently, I went off my Zoloft for two months to try other things. I had horrible down moments, paranoia, suicidal thoughts. I know that those are all related to depression, though. Recently, I have had some manias along with my low moments. For a while there, I thought I was going psychotic. I didn't think I would pull through, but I am starting to feel better now that I've stayed on the Zoloft for a substantial period of time.

I was told my a doctor that your body can go through changes, and react differently to a medicine, regardless of how it worked in your past!!! However, I was told not to lose hope & I didn't....

I had to stop zoloft for 2 weeks in order to get a sleep study done. You're supposed to titrate off of it, but I'm impatient and stopped abruptly (my dose was, and is now again 200mg/night). Aside from depression completely beating me down during those 2 weeks, I experienced some dizziness and slight headache. I couldn't attribute it to anything else so I assumed it was the sudden lack of zoloft in my body .The problems went away as soon as I started taking it again.

i find it's best to discuss comming off any medication with your doctor first hun that way he can monitor things sorry can't be of more help.

Yeah I am thinkin that i should go back on it and no i didn't talk to my doctor about going off it but I had told him I went off it he told me to go back on ( i know stupid me for not listening) but i just kept forgetting to take as we had just moved and I guess it just slipped my mind. I am only taking 25mg of it and have now missed a month as i have stated earlier should i just starting taking it again since i still have the meds. I just hate how sleepy it makes me and the lack of sex drive plus when i am on it i eat like a horse lol.

Someone asked last week about going cold turkey on medications so they could have alcohol and I wrote about my bout of going off Zoloft cold turkey...it was terrible! Please get some lower doses and taper off Zoloft. I had no doctor (she stopped taking our insurance) and no more meds so I just stopped from 100mg after about 7+ years in Jan. I had every bodily system affected for 3 months with at least 6 - 8 weeks flat in bed. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, total body aches like flu, chills, sweating which soaked the sheets then chills again, vertigo, my eyes were light sensitive...you name it and it happened.
Google Zoloft withdrawal symptoms and read all about it!

U know its weird but sometimes strangers give themost support I think it cause we don't hold back on what to say since noone really knows us on sites like this but its good to always have someone to talk to.

Thanx for your help if anyone has any more advice it willbe appreciated.
