I'm new to Babble---discovered it just about a month ago----excellent site---thanks Dr.Bob! I am a medical professional--hospital pharmacist---who recently tapered myself off of Zoloft 200mg/day. I am now day #25 off of it and the withdrawal effects are essentially gone. However, they were miserable. Dramamine a couple of times a day helped the dizziness. I have started fish oil -- 2grams/day--and hard work-outs on my treadmill! Both strategies have worked wonders....almost too good--I have felt hypomanic at times. I, too, decided to end my ~8-year "relationship" with antidepressants due to ~20-25# weight gain. Zoloft was indeed the worst of the many I have been on with regards to weight.
Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts and thank Dr.Bob for this wonderful site. Very often the medical literature does not address the issues which are of great concern to people who have to take this stuff. This has been a great help to me! :)
