hi. I am a 20 yr old college student who has been
on anti-depressants for over 5 yrs now. I am trying
to get off zoloft because I don't think it is
working anymore and it makes me tired, blah and
not happy-not sad-just nothing. I don't want to live
like this anymore. My prescription last time was
100mg daily. A few months ago I cut it to 50 mg. and
now I am taking 50 mg. every other day. I thought
I was doing well so during spring break i decided
to stop taking it all together. Big mistake.
A few days later I got really sleepy, had no appetite,
couldn't talk to people no matter how hard I tried
(i would give one word answers,very scary, i was trapped
in my own head). I am going to Greece next year
to study abroad-studying abroad has been a lifelong dream of mine. I realize that going abroad will
make my depression possibly worse-so my goal is to
be off zoloft by july and then have august to adjust
to being off the drug.
I am wondering if anyone can recommend any books,
resources, websites, etc. to help me in this.
Thanks. Good luck to everyone trying to get off
this drug!
