Zoloft withdrawal success stories
Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft withdrawal success stories
zoloft
I just know when people start getting very discouraged or scared, based on reading the horror stories, it helps to explain that there are also a lot of success stories, and as with any new med, it's just kind of a crap shoot as to how that person will do on the med. I don't like to see ANYONE putting too much stock in either kind of story, and that's why I always encourage people to allow themselves to have their own experience.
ve read up on zoloft withdrawal and I definitely have it as I can relate to many of the stories people told of it. Also I've always been a lightweight and it doesn't take a high dose of any drug for it to affect me.
I have noticed the withdrawal symptoms decreasing gradually. 2 weeks ago when I had just flushed the zoloft down the toilet I felt worse!
t ever know if these are side effects of the Zoloft or withdrawal effects from stopping the Lexapro. This should also tell you about stopping the Klonopin abruptly -- it's not about whether you're technically addicted to something or not, it's how easy your brain finds it to adapt back to being without the artificial way medication makes it work. Other medications can't duplicate this because they all work differently and target different receptors.
If it worked before it will again. This is the best indicator of how a medication will affect you. What one experiences may not be your's, because we all respond differently to these types of medications. Don't go by all the horror stories because the success stories far outnumber the bad. Unfortunately we only hear about the bad experiences, people who have found success in a medication have no complaints so they have no reason to post about it.
ll have to taper very carefully off Effexor before you start Zoloft so you can tell which is a side effect of Zoloft and which is a withdrawal effect of Effexor. But research this -- your child needs to know. I always thought none of these were acceptable for somebody wanting to get pregnant.
I have read tons of stories about how bad Effexor withdrawal is but is it possible that you can experience no withdrawals at all? My 20 year old son has been on it for 6 months. The dr. Has gradually increased him from 37.5mg to now 300 mg. my son feels worse then he did when he was on Zoloft. We see his dr. on Monday and we plan on requesting he be taken off and to try something else.
You will hear horror stories and positive stories, you have to allow yourself to have your OWN experience. You have to give these kinds of meds at least 4-6 weeks before you can fairly assess their effectiveness. They work by increasing the amount of circulating serotonin in the brain, which is basically a "feel good" chemical that helps us increase our overall sense of well being, which in turn decreases anxiety.
Zoloft has some common initial side effects.
First, you can use a pill cutter to cut the pills, but I'd be surprised if by now Zoloft didn't have a liquid version for slow titrating. Maybe it doesn't, but most have developed one because withdrawal is such a common nightmare. Some get it worse than others. Go down as slowly as you need. A book called The Anti-Depressant Solution by Joseph Glanville discusses this problem in detail. You might want to give it a read and follow the protocol before you start tapering again.
m also about to start CBT shortly, so hopefully, I might be able to hop off Zoloft sooner rather then later, as some of the stories regarding withdrawal and other symptoms have caught my attention.
Thanks so much for sharing your success storiy. We don't get to enjoy the "good" outcomes nearly as much as we should...for good reason...people who get better aren't inclined to keep posting, although I wish they would.
I've also had great success with Zoloft. Zoloft has one of the better track records among SSRI's for treating anxiety/panic disorders effectively and overall, most patients tolerate it pretty well.
Thanks again for sharing! Best wishes...
Anything positive that has happened since you quit, please share with us. I love reading the success stories, even those that are just starting out with a day or 2 clean and excited about what sobriety has to offer is success.
Addiction comes with so much pain, but when we fight for what we want and stay clean, we begin to heal and life changes. Life becomes worth living again. How has live improved for you, since you made the decision to get clean?
I am very new to this type of thing, but I do find that reading pregnancy success stories from other women who have PCOS, really helps me to cope with the fact that I have fertility issues. I am on my second round of 50mg of clomid and Im also taking Metformin. Are there any women who have successfuly conceived on Clomid and how many rounds did it take?
, and then you were able to get off of it without going into horrible withdrawal for weeks? How many meds did you have to try before you found one that worked?
and I begin obsessively reading about the thousands of Paxil withdrawal horror stories that are out here on the web. Websites like paxilprogress.org and quitpaxil.org are full of people that have tried to quit or are in the process of weaning off of this drug, and they are all going through absolute hell. It really scares me. It's an odd feeling when you realize that you are afraid of the very thing that has helped you for so many years.
I guess my question to you is this.
