In reply to Re: withdrawal symptoms coming off zoloft, posted by SW on October 5, 2000, at 20:07:54
Well,I started weaning myself from Zoloft about 2 weeks ago. I have been feeling horrible. But, that is not reason I am writing.I first came here to find out the exact symtoms to comming off the zoloft, to see if the ones I was having were normal.Because, like everyone else, I am getting no info from my doctor.I had no plan to respond. But, I have to say that I strongly suggest not getting on these happy pills to begin with.(I know,from experience easier said than done.) I have been on them for 2 years.And in those 2 years, I've realized that these pills have NOT helped me at all, only covered up the problems, So, really I suggest getting some other kind of help before even starting these mind alltering DRUGS. I relize that there are people who think these pills help them,I'm guilty of this same feeling,but they don't I still have the same problems,that I had two years ago. I just know now that A pill is not going to take them away.I hope that I'm not offending anyone because, I am not trying to. I just really want people to see this medication for what it is . A temporary solution!!!! I guess unless,you plan to take it forever. I also, know other people who have taken this same medication and had the exact problems actually,worse than mine own experience. The only problem I see now is finding a alternative to taking medication. I really have no plans,But,I do know that I will NEVER take Zolft or any other like it no matter what this crazy life sends my way.
