I think about the time when I was on Zoloft and felt pretty darn good most of the time. I slept great, had great workouts, had plenty of energy, had a great libido, didn't gain weight, and had zero noticeable side effects other than maybe being a little more dehydrated than normal. I thought taking a medication that might be toxic was not a good idea in the long run and I didn't want to be a slave to taking medication so I stopped one day when I thought I was ready. I totally regret doing this. Six months later the perfect storm came together to send me into a severe mixed episode and eventual hospitalization. Since this time my life has been pure hell. Zoloft no longer stabilizes me and works the same magic at 100 mg. In the past few years I've been on 12 different medications and went through the worst depression of my life and another mixed episode and hospitalization-the combination of which I know has done more damage to my psyche, brain, and body than just staying on Zoloft ever would have done.
