I started on Zoloft, it seemed to calm me down quite a bit at 50 mg, but I was not sleeping well and still felt depressed. The doc raised it to 100mg and I hated it. I felt like a zombie. My head/mind was going 100 miles per hour but my body felt like it wasn't moving. I slowly weaned myself off by going to 50 mg and then went to the doc and he gave me 25mg for 7 days and took me off. After I was on 25mg for a week I felt alive again. My psych wanted me on Paxil instead and I had 1 day with nothing, I felt wonderful. I started Paxil 25mg and I felt great for 5 days, on the sixth day I felt nauseas and missed some work. I have been trying to maintain my work and home but I have almost fell asleep at the wheel and have fallen asleep at my desk. I called the docs yesterday and told them I want off this crap. I have only been on Paxil for 8 days and they told me I wouldn't have severe withdraws to just quit taking them. So this morning I haven't had any and I was fine til I just finished lunch, now my stomach hurts, I am shaky and I got dizzy and light headed. Hopefully by the time I wake up tomorrow I will be okay.
