I know this sounds terrible but I guess I really enjoy the high from the combination. UGH! I have quit the pills once before and the worst part was the RLS! I also take zoloft on a daily basis and (bare with me on the explaination) It seems as if when I drop down the norco dosage it makes me have a zoloft withdrawal as if my body is moving faster than my head???? like a tracer feeling, dizzy?? zappy?? I don't know but I don't like it. I am fearful of these two withdrawals symptoms.
Before I started taking Zoloft I did get dizzy but my doctor told me it was from anxiety and stress and not to worry but he did prescribed me pills for nausea/dizziness.. Zoloft can help ease it off as it makes you more calm. But I would recommend you taking it during the night as it can be heavy on you (wasn't for me) it can make you sleepy. I would recommend you not to read the side effects as they can be a bit scary.. I've actually never read them.
I have no idea, but why on Earth would you take an addictive and toxic drug (vicodin has acetominiphen in it, doesn't it? That's highly liver toxic) to get over another drug that's hard to quit? You're just going to either have to tough it out or go back on the Zoloft and taper off more slowly if it's too much to handle.
Been off zoloft for 11 days. Having withdrawal sympyoms. Just wondering how long they usually last. Been on antidepressants for about 10 years(sarafem,effexor,zoloft) not sure if that makes a difference.
I was on zoloft for approx. 4 months, 50mg - I am 32 years old, always been around 110 lbs. I didn't gain weight at all during those 4 months, however I quit cold turkey just about 3 weeks ago. I feel so bloated and sloppy! I have put on 5 lbs and that is alot for me since I am only 5'. My question is ... did quitting this cause weight gain?
This is a psychiatrist. I would love to find a new one but they are in short supply around here. He says this is the way to go. Even if the Effexor doesn't work he still doesn't want to try Zoloft, he suggested a tricyclic. My GP is willing to try Zoloft. I'm just scared nothing is going to work now.
Well I suffer from panic attacks and horrible insomnia anyways, after I got on the right dose for my zoloft I quit having panic attacks and my moods were stable, but my insomnia never got any better, and I've tried probably every sleeping pill you can think of, my insomnia has gotten better now though. Please listen to me though, if you get worried about your weight, get off of it now while you can.
I have been on 100 mg. Zoloft and just recently my doctor took me completely off it and put me on 1 mg. xanaz (1/2 pill for three times a day). She also put me on 2 dozepin at bedtime.(35 mg.) I just don't have any energy and don't know if it is because I have come off the zoloft. I have been off it for a week. I have been having anxiety attacks pretty regular but since she has put me on the zanax it has helped. I just don't want to do anything.
I have been taking Zoloft for 3 months. I wanted to try Life without it so I quit cold turkey. The first week was great but for the last few weeks I have been having horrible twitching, muscle spasms, numbness, headaches, and hullicinations. i contacted my doctor last monday, she didnt call back, then i called her on friday and then again she didnt call back.
Well both Prozac and Zoloft take weeks to kick in fully. What was your side effect on Prozac?
Effexor tends to have far more side effects than Zoloft, and is known to be much more difficult to quit. On the other hand, are you sure Zoloft is any safer during pregnancy? Whatever the case, you'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.
You have'nt been on it very long at all. Ask your Dr about the tapering. He/she may let you quit without tapering though since you've only been on it for a couple of weeks.
Hi there just wondering how long zoloft take to get completely into your blood stream I was on one dose but it was increased and I am just wondering I have been on it for about 5 days the new one thanks again for your responses its nice to know people who care
Since going off Zoloft 10 months ago, I’ve had severe anxiety day in and day out. Around the same time, I started experiencing various symptoms such as muscle twitches, burning/hot feeling skin that comes and goes in waves, heart racing, heavy head, sore muscles in neck, back, legs, etc, difficulty sleeping, racing obsessive thoughts. Has anyone else experienced this?
I had been on Zoloft for the past 5 months and before that Paxil (the lowest dosages for both). When I found out I was pregnant I stopped taking Zoloft but the depression and anxiety has returned. I would like to go back on Zoloft but am concerned if, because I quit "cold turkey", it's okay to do so. Should I ease back into it, or can I continue to take it as I had been? I've tried contacting my doctor but have not received a response.
Did you taper slowly off the Zoloft or quit abruptly? Either way, it can be withdrawal from stopping the Zoloft -- it needs to be stopped as slowly as suits the particular individual and even then most people get withdrawal symptoms when stopping it, some moderate, some severe., some for a very short time, some for a very long time.
