1429536 tn?1283127572 Does anyone know what will happen during a Zoloft overdose? I am diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and ADHD and impulsiveness is a huge problem. I took probably 15 - 20 100 mg Zoloft pills. About 10 minutes later my boyfriend made me make myself puke. I didn’t see any come back up unless they hid in my food. I feel very weird right now. Am I going to be ok?
1100140 tn?1260594269 Hello there, First of all you must now that there is almost no chance you get serotonin syndrome/toxicity with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class taken alone. They are way safer than Tricyclic anti-depressant in overdose. Serotonin toxicity is usually associated with very high overdoses or multiple drug ingestion.
Avatar n tn It goes on, stating that in clinical trials there were no connections between zoloft and suicide in children either with OCD or drepression. I want to help my daughter be happy, but why would the psychiatrist place her on a medication which is not approved by the FDA??
Avatar n tn re under the supervision of your doctor. Many of these types of meds need to be tapered and Zoloft is one of them. When you resumed taking it and realized you had mistakenly taken 200mg, you probably should have called your doctor or pharmacist for advise, and since you are still feeling not so great, I'd call someone . Being the week-end, you probably won't reach your doctor, so try your local pharmacist.
Avatar n tn can zoloft cause or aggravate rage in young children? Will Tenex and or Zoloft aggravate psychotic features?
Avatar f tn We do not know of any cause for this. She landed in the hospital twice in one week recently due to the panic attack. I took her to a psychiatrist and he put her on Zoloft. She has only been on it for about a week and has lost most of her appitite. I know she needs something to help control these attacks. I been against medicine for the past couple of years. She is just 17 years old but I fear without the medicine she will get worse.

3094157 tn?1340937202 I have been on Zoloft for over 12yrs due to a TBI when I was 17 and initially I remember if I had any alcohol it would cause me to hit rock bottom. But I have been having a glass or two of wine every night for about a month. I haven't noticed too much change in my mood but I'm concerned about the long-term affects on my body. Does anyone know? Thanks!
Avatar f tn who prescribed me ativan and Zoloft, would not prescribe me the valium. Adventually I came off the Zoloft due to the side effects. The Ativan did its job for awhile but i was taking "too" much a day according to him so he just put me on Klonopin 4mg per day. It seems to be fine keeping me calm and not too many side effects but it is not helping with random anxiety onsets nor is it helping me with sleep.

Avatar n tn Hi, The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.
Avatar f tn Btw I'm in Dallas Tx I go to see a neurosurgeon that specializes in Chiari, Dr. Richard Jackson, on the 13th.
Avatar f tn Today I started taking a multi vitamin, potasium suppliment (I get bad cramps), and Zoloft since I hear depression is bad and I use to take it so I have a good 30 day supply. I am planning on taking a 1/4 of immodium starting the day before the 22nd and slowly upping it. Immodium usually stops me up completely and I get terrible stomach cramps so I am hoping a 1/4 to start will work for me. I'm just sharing because this place is a good outlet and annoymous.
585477 tn?1218360618 but, you are not in the best place right now to be caring full-time for your children. You are vulnerable, anxious, scared, confused, hurt. And, obviously...if you are suicidal, you are not in the best frame of mind. YOU are going to change that. The BEST revenge, wanda...is living well. When, down the road you can free yourself from this man...and be happy with YOURSELF because YOU have made things good for yourself and your kids....THAT will be the Karma.
Avatar f tn If you are going to ween her off be sure to talk to the doctor about the best way to do it. Suddenly stopping it could be a disaster. SSRI's of which Zoloft is one work differently in people, especially in children. And if you are going to continue with some kind of medication you may want to seek out a child psychiatrist since they have more experience with children's reactions to medications.
Avatar n tn My best friend is very afraid to have another baby because she was on Zoloft. She asked her psychiatrist and I asked mine and they both said that Zoloft is the best antidepressant to be on during pregnancy. It has the lowest risk of negative outcomes. Many, many people stay on antidepressants while pregnant. I am not trying to sway you either way, I just know myself. When I am not on my antidepressant I am terribly depressed and having panic attacks a lot.
Avatar f tn I have aspergers and zoloft helps me deal with my environment. I can handle noises, changes, and people in general much better now, I do not get angry or phobic so soon any more. So i guess my environment thinks this has improved my behaviour ; ) Just watch it: zoloft has to be started and stopped very carefully,with the help of a physician !
Avatar f tn First of all, I don't think Zoloft is approved for use in pregnancy either. Second, how quickly did you quit using Paxil? Switching to Zoloft won't help the withdrawal from Paxil, which is one of the most difficult medications to stop taking particularly after that long. It needs to be done very slowly -- after that long it might take months and months.
