> I am now about 4 weeks Zoloft free. I am experiencing extreme fatigue and insomnia. Do you think this could still be due to withdrawal? I am only getting 3-4hrs. of sleep per night and it's really starting to take it's toll on me. It's hard to tell withdrawal from the symptoms of depression! I am so confused on what to do because it seems every med. that I take, brings on a whole new set of side-effects. It really scares me to try something else especially if this could possibly still be withdrawal. How long did it take for your withdrawal to end? What were your symptoms? I still feel somewhat emotionally blunted, but that ia getting a little better everyday. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! God bless,
> PeteyI'm sorry that I did not write you back sooner. Ive been in the process of moving. i personally did'nt have as much problems sleeping ,I did but it was very mild compared to the other side effects.But however my ex-husband had very severe problems sleeping in fact he would get about an hour or two a night, I'm not exactly sure how long it lasted but I do know he called me several time in the middle of the night, saying that he was sure it was going to end up killing him. he ended up seeing a doc,who ened up putting him on sleeping pills. This was abot a year ago,and to my knowledge he still is NOT off the zoloft. I also wanted to let you know that from person experience zoloft is easier to get off of. Than alot of other drugs. So I would really think alot it seriouslly,before you start,well that is if you ever plan on getting off of it. The syptoms are very close to depression,or maybe it is depression I'm not sure maybe you should ask your doc,about a natural form of anti-depressant.
