Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft withdrawal while pregnant

zoloft

Avatar m tn You need to speak with your OB/GYN immediately. You cannot simply stop taking Zoloft after being on it for a year. That explains all the symptoms you're having...........you're going though withdrawal. Please call your doctor NOW and let him/her know what is happening.
Avatar m tn Today I took 1 Vicodin (Labeled M367, 10/325 norco) I took my last Zoloft 14 days ago. I was on 50 mg Zoloft. I took my first Zoloft pill on December 19, 2014 and I took my last Zoloft pill on January 19, 2015. I'm currently going through Zoloft withdrawals and have many of the typical Zoloft withdrawal symptoms. I was just wondering if taking a Vicodin will interfere with the recovery of my Zoloft withdrawal?

94902 tn?1330479667 Thanks for the response! My dizziness seems to be getting better - its not as bad midmorning to midafternoon, and seems to be mainly bad in the morning and the evening when I'm tired - so that may have something to do with it! Its SO frustrating!! I said this last time when I went on the Zoloft that I wouldn't come off again except while I'm pregnant, and had intended to go back on it after delivery, but now I'm not so sure.
Avatar f tn I am 29 yrs old and once my husband and I found out that I was pregnant. I called my regular doctor and my obgyn and they both told me to stop taking my Xanax. Now I am feeling more anxiety and I'm very shakie. What's your opinion on what I should do? I've been talking to my obgyn but she is not helping me with this at all. Is the anything else that is safe to take while I'm pregnant for anxiety attaches and panic attacks? Please help me, thank you!
Avatar n tn I'm kind of surprised your Dr is letting you stay on Zoloft if you're trying to get pregnant. It's best not to be on anything while pregnant but some of the antidepressants should not be taken while pregnant. There are some that are safer to take. From what I've heard and read Zoloft is not one of them. Are you working with your Dr on a tapering plan to get off of Klonopin? You really should'nt try to do this on your own because of the symptoms you're having right now.
Avatar m tn Does Tramadol have as much SSRI in it as Zoloft? Does 100mg of Tramadol have as much SSRI as say 50mg of Zoloft? I was taking Tramadol while I was going through Zoloft withdrawal and I'm just wondering if I stunted the healing process of my Zoloft withdrawal. My body and mind still don't feel 100% since quitting Zoloft, but it's definitely getting better.
4592444 tn?1362029703 i see a mental health doctor and was put on zoloft while trying to get pregnant bc it was one of the safer meds to take while pregnant and DO NOT quit taking it cold turkey. my dr has always told me to ween myself off the meds b4 starting a new one, i went thru 3 different meds before finding one that worked for my anxiety issues, bc for anxiety they use anti-depressants.
Avatar m tn Will my brain and body still heal from the Zoloft withdrawal even if I'm taking Vicodin? Will taking Vicodin interfere with the Zoloft withdrawal process?
Avatar m tn However, after being off of the Paxil CR for a while I started it up again after trying Zoloft (which made my anxiety so unbearable; I thought I was insane) and the results were not great. I gradually worked my dose up to 37.5 mg as per my doctor's instructions and while it did seem to help with the anxiety and depression, I was having the eye zaps and severe depersonalization that I only experienced during withdrawals.
Avatar m tn ve seen people on here several times having been told by their doctors that Zoloft is the safest to take while pregnant. That may be true, but keep in mind, it's not just a problem with birth defects, it's also having a child being born on the drug and you know how difficult these drugs can be to an adult let alone a newborn.
785176 tn?1236416509 t think Zoloft is as problematic, and most people do get over it fairly soon. But it is classic withdrawal symptoms. Good luck, and remember, you're doing this for a positive reason, that should help.
Avatar n tn I have been trying to get pregnant recently so my ob/gyn changed my medicine to zoloft 25mg. He told me to stop taking the paxil and take the zoloft the very next day, and from then on. I have been on zoloft 25mg for the past 3 weeks, and now the horrible withdrawal symptoms have seemed to die down. I wasn't feeling quite up to par last week so i went back to the doctor and he switched me to 50mg of zoloft. I took it for one day and have had horrible akathisia ever since.
Avatar f tn I'm currently on 12.5mg of metoprolol succinate and 50mg sertraline and my doctor wants me to stop taking the beta blocker. He told me that just stopping it on 12.5 should be ok but I have concerns. I read that taking the two together can cause more levels of beta blocker to be in the system than normal due to how the liver processes both medications. Should I just stop it at 12.5 or should I taper down further to 6.25mg? Anyone else stop taking Toprol XL while on Zoloft?
Avatar n tn From my understanding, if you become pregnant while taking zoloft, you're not supposed to actually stop taking it without speaking to your doctor. Talk to them and see what they want you to do. (Don't try to lessen the dose or change anything before you speak to them.
Avatar m tn I will try to stop Zoloft today. I forget to mention while using Zoloft I have tic of my lips, which I never had. To my question. Is it normal, has or had anybody the same feelings and symptoms like me, when using Zoloft (above all the feeling of depersonalization and derealization and emotional nembness)? Are they unwanted side-effects or withrawal effects? Is it getting better when you stop to use Zoloft? If yes, when does it improve?
Avatar m tn I've been taking Lexapro 20mg for a few years now and recently it's stopped working so I've been switched to Zoloft. I'm taking 15 mg Lexapro and 25 mg Zoloft and Im decreasing one while increasing the other. I've hear that serotonin syndrome can be caused by taking multiple medicines like this together and am worried.
Avatar f tn I was taking pristiqe for depression and anxiety I'm 6 wks today and as soon as I found out I was pregnant the Dr. Made me switch over to Zoloft for depression. I've heard nothing but horrible things about Zoloft. Is there anyone that has takin it during their pregnancy? What is your opinion and experience?
142722 tn?1281533616 You might want to direct this question to Dr. Gould on the mental health forum. I don't think he's too keen on any of these meds while you're pregnant, but he might know if Zoloft is somehow better than others.
763297 tn?1281379425 I have been on depression meds for 2 years and im TTC but I can't just quit them suddenly because of the terrible withdrawl I have experienced in the past. I could whean off but im on 20 mgs of Celexa and it might take a while. Should I stay on it if im pregnant? I don't know what to do. Any advice would be great!
