Zoloft

[BKWx2]

 Have you ever taken Zoloft? Did you have a hard time coming off it? I started taking it about 2 months ago and I realized although it helped with the constant crying, it made me worse in other areas so I was told by my doc to wean myself off of it. Well I am but in doing so, I feel even worse.

What are the side effects you had when weaning off of it and how did you deal with it? And long does this last?

I was just really, really tired all the time (I'm normally an insomniac, with Zoloft I was sleeping like 12 hours a day) and had a lower sex drive. Within about two weeks of being off it I was back to normal, but I was only on it for a couple of months.

You should try taking a different medication for the depression. I had a had time coming off the Zoloft myself. Give yourself at least a month to come off, slowly decrease the dosage and it wont be as noticeable. Try taking herbal supplements while you are coming down to compensate for the loss. Do your research on what you can take. Valerian is always great. Good luck, and try to get out and get fresh air, that always helps me better than any drug.
