Coming off Zoloft

[mjt719]

Maybe it's just me, because I've never been big on medicine (aside from adderall because my ADD disables me...and still not big on this either), whether it's an antidepressant or tylenol, or even a friggin band-aid for a cut. I think I'd just rather live naturally miserable and getting by in life, than synthetically "happy" and dawdling through every day like a zombie. On zoloft, the seasons would change and I barely even acknowledged it. Days would go by and I would wonder where they went :(

[mjt719]

Zoloft fucking SUCKS! Please....if you are considering taking this garbage, please ask someone who has tried it. All it does is sweep your problems "under the bed". Your depression bottles up inside you because you develop a synthetic, waxy coat of "happiness" around your emotions. You think everything is awesome but in reality, it's obviously not. Zoloft must be a go-to thing for doctors to prescribe. THEY never tried it...they just learned about it in med school (in most cases).

FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!!!

well, I guess from the video that you did manage to get off it. I tried & had Anxiety attack after Anxiety attack. I couldn't do it & I know how hard that crap is on my liver. I never should have started it. FYI I never had a anxiety attack in my LIFE BEFORE I took the crap.

I started on Wellbutrin, next to Celexa, then it was Effexor, Then from there is was Cymbalta. When I first started on anti-depressants they felt like just what I needed. I felt good, I laughed a lot, I always was in a positive optimistic mood. Believe it or not it all started with just one pill Wellbutrin which was administered just after my coming clean off of street drugs and alcohol addiction. Currently I am on: hydroxiyzine, trazodone, clontidine, and Cymbalta. I feel like killing myself. ☹

what is wellbutrin like? did it change you a lot? just wondering because my doctor tried to recommend it but after taking zoloft i feel like someone could hand me a million bucks to go back on antidepressants and I'd happily refuse.

I had no depth perception and was coming back from fishing and kept falling til someone finally carried me out. Then I started crying uncontrollably and I couldn't help it, so I thought that was so weird and started laughing about crying, then I was laughing and crying laughing and crying til I about peed my pants. In all actuality though, it wasn't funny. It was very uncomfortable and strange.

i assume this is a spoof

Let's just say I'm not really advocating drink-driving while withdrawing from SSRIs.

The rest pretty well conforms to my experience.

Hi, how long did it take for you to ween yourself off zoloft? and any other tips you can give would be appreciated. I am currently getting the dizzyness. Nice animation!

Also just to add sometimes these medications have sexual side effects. Like most people I got horny. But sometimes with these medications I have almost no sex-drive at all, sometimes for over a week. And I'm only 34.

Zoloft has let me keep a job for 8 years. But when I go off it I some times flip out. I've tried to put my fist through walls. Clonazapam makes sleepy, and I tend to feel nothing.

i went cold turkey been two weeks now

[ratisnice]

you get the bran shivers yet? cus i quit cold turkey as well, and i got mad crazy panic attacks and brain shivers non stop. But then again, i did abuse them and i didnt follow the pattern in which i was supposed to take them.

great video! i am trying to wean myself off 100mg /day zoloft at the moment, and its hellish. wish i'd never started taking them those 2 years ago! but they are okay in that these have been the most successful years of my life, however, it's time to be me again. thanks for animating what so many people experience!!! :-)

[lemsipGY]

Hey - sorry to hear that. The animation was meant to be a bit off a pisstake of a community service announcement, but I tend to face hardship by applying comedy, and the truth was, coming off Zoloft really sucked, especially the dizziness. Glad to be off though, that's for sure.
