I started taking Zoloft 6 months ago, after the birth of my second daughter. Post Partum, which I had after my first, but didn't know it. It did great things for me (although I have gained weight, but I thought it was the IUD that they gave me, and had that taken out with no relief from the weight gain... hmm...)Sorry, back to my withdrawls... I was just 'terminated' from my job after 6 years (along with 45 other people). You would think that I would need a higher dosage, right? Nope... I'm wonderful mentally. So wonderful, I didn't even get a refill before my insurance ran out. UH OH. So, here I am. Nothing to 'taper' off with, feeling great emotionally, but man. I am so dizzy. I had to leave the grocery store yesterday for fear of vomiting in the frozen foods. My neck and back are killers... and I generally just feel like I have the flu. How can I deal with these symptoms holistically? (as I don't want to pay full price for another refill) So here's my issue.

Never took it all the time or was serious about taking it either. I would take a pill here and there every other day or two, never daily or more than one a day. I hardly ever took it until past weekend I noticed it gave me ED. I immediately stopped taking it. Now I am experiencing extreme withdraw from it. I feel like I got hooked on it just like that. I am trying to wean myself off it taking half every other day, - withdraw symptoms are so bad! Its like I am taking it more often to wean myself off of it.

I have suffered from Panic Attack Disorder since the third grade (only, they didn't know what to call it then - it kept being referred to as 'nervous stomach' and a phase that I would grow out of). At the age of 31, I knew that my anxiety issues clearly weren't normal - panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, too easily stressed, and not understand the meaning of letting something "roll off my back." So I asked to go on Zoloft (I had tried it one other time in my life for a couple of months to get through a rough spell, and it worked then, too). Since going on Zoloft, I deem myself to be "normal" for the first time EVER. Now, I have heard friends comment that it causes them to just not care about ANYTHING, but for me, it eliminated the DRASTIC highs and lows, to where I don't worry about stupid insignificant things, but I have normal down days, and I still get excited about things that I like. But you all are scaring me - what the hell withdrawal symptoms do you have if you stop cold turkey? (In case I should ever decide to go off of it.)

My doctor actually said that I'd be on it for life.. but I was starting to think that I had a good enough mind to face my life without a pill.. This determination alone was really what helped me get off Zoloft.. So I started cutting down my dose myself.. I started tapering my dose off by 1/4 of a tablet (it's possible if you cut it with a knife).. I started to exercise more to keep up a positive psychological momentum (big step for me).. I finally got down to 1/2 a tablet.. was on that for about 2 months.. then.. I took the plunge and stopped all together. It's a pyschological step to actually get off Zoloft.. the physical rewards in getting off it were actually better than being on it. You just have to believe in yourself and that you were born without the drugs.. This means.. that you can deal with your life without them too (after they have done what they have really needed to...)..<br /><br />Goodluck everyone.. Hey,
