In reply to withdrawal symptoms coming off zoloft, posted by Shelly on May 4, 1999, at 17:37:51
> >I've been on Zoloft for about 8 months. Man, what a strange experience this whole thing has been. My doc put me on this after I complained of anxiety, nervousness, panic feelings, and jumbled thoughts. I had gone through a number of life changes (moving, changing jobs, having another child, my dad getting sick). Now I know why I was such a mess and if I would have realized it then, maybe I could have avoided the drug altogther by "right" thinking. Anyways, I have just weaned myself off for the past month or so and have just recently (the past day) felt the side effects. The nerves have returned and the head rushes are unique to say the least. But the beauty of all of
this is that I KNOW what it is now! This realization eliminates much of the fear that was eating me up inside. For me, positive thinking and keeping busy have opened the door for me and provided hope (without the aid of drugs). I've grasped whatever it takes to sooth your mind. I never was a big "self help" person but now I
love hearing about methods to live and think healthier. Thanks for showing me that these pesky symptoms are normal and even better that they WILL GO AWAY--remember that! As you can tell, I'm trying to be very confident.
