“
I went off cold turkey after 10 years and an ending dose of 100mg a day for the last 2 years of my therapy.
Zoloft was a lifesaver for me when I began my treatment and am grateful it was there at a time when I needed it, but it became clear to me that it had served it purpose and it was time for me to take control and get off of it. I was not however, prepared for the withdrawal I would experience.
The first few days were rough, but the weeks that followed tested my resolve more than I expected. I dealt with dizziness, constant nausea and headache, feelings of panic, flu-like symptoms and finally when I thought I couldn’t take another minute, I woke up one day and it was over. In retrospect, it was so worth it!
I did not realize how much it had affected my family and those around me.
I had become a robot. I felt very little, I showed very little emotion and to be honest, I really didn’t care. My children had a check and balance system anytime they needed me to remember anything.
They knew the chances were slim that I would, so they would remind me several times or leave notes around the house. I never felt like being intimate because I got nothing out of it and sleep was something that seemed elusive no matter what I did. I had taken a prescription sleep medicine, but it made me even more of a zombie and my doctor decided it was not worth it. The two medicines did not seem to gel and I would go through what I later learned was mini-withdrawal during the day after taking the sleep medicine.
