Hi Dinah,
> Good to hear from you. :)
Thanks. I like your enthusiasm; I just wish I felt like I liked it, if you know what I mean.
(BTW: Did Gabbi set you up with this topic or anything? Just asking; be honest.)
> So in addition to the twirlies (I think that's Susan's word for it? sorry if I'm not giving correct credit here) and wooziness and electric zaps ...
I just have dizzy, throbbing tinnitus. I feel like a swarm of bees is in my head, and every once in a while, they all bump into once side at once.
Ugggh.
> Remember the sage words of advice at a time like this. Taper, taper, taper.
Oh, I did. I did indeed. In weeks, starting from a 200 mg daily zoloft dose, I dropped to
150
100
50
25
25 every other day
and now ZERO.I'm beginning to wonder if I should go to 12.5 mg every day, then every other day...
> P.S. Caffeine in large doses really helped my recent Effexor withdrawals and kept me somewhat functional. Of course your mileage may vary, etc. etc.
Sorry -- can't do that. Caffeine makes me particularly loopy. I have to keep my sleep on schedule, just like my depakote and my wellbutrin, or I'm afraid I will end up in the country club again. Actually, that sounds like a good idea -- I feel like I want a break from reality. :-)
Thanks for the words of encouragement.
Ted
