Zoloft Rock Facts

Zoloft Rock Facts in Q&A

Just started taking Zoloft... absolutely exhausted!? Im taking it for my anxiety, OCD, and paranoia. Ive only been taking it for 3 days and i know it takes 2-4 weeks to kick in, but i have been sooo exhausted. I take it at night before bed, and I sleep like a rock (which is good cause i normally toss and turn). But once the alarm goes off, I cant move. I will get up on my day off, eat some breakfast, take a shower, and im so exhausted ill take a nap.. and it turns into me sleeping for 4+ hours! Is this normal? DO you think its the Zoloft or just coincidence? Any advice is great.. oh and i have another doctor appt in 2 weeks. Thanks!

Oh yeah replied: "Its the Zoloft for sure. Your body probably needs to get use to the drug. One thing that can help is to drink more water than you usually drink and eating some bananas for energy."

Cat S replied: "Its normal, especially when your brain and body are adapting to a new drug that is essentially altering your biochemistry. Just try to manage what time you are alert and comfortable are effectively and don't kick yourself for needing to rest, right now your body is the best guide to telling you when its had enough. Eating well and light exercise will help alleviate some of the symptoms but as I said, try not to exhaust yourself too much."

~just me~ replied: "It will get better. I had that same problem a month ago when I started on this drug. Give it more time. In the meantime, drink plenty of water, and eat healthy energy foods. Good luck! Great job for seeking help with your problem, it takes alot of effect to "come out". Best wishes!"

fred_rogers replied: "From what I remember it took me a few weeks to get over that effect when I started it. Never figured out why it does that, but I remember it wasn't an issue after a while."

anger-anxiety, bipolar-anxiety, how to get rid of anxiety naturally and severe panic attacks disorder? hello i need help. i suffer very bad case. i have kids anxiety. i also am on antidepressants anxiety like zoloft and prozac. i want to get rid of anxiety. i take the panic attack drugs to get rid of anxiety . i suffer headaches and other side effects. i take a lot of naturally herbal remedies and drugs like pills and medicines. i also love playing rock band. palm

Wait what? replied: "Wiat, they give kids Prozac?"

garnerfamily04 replied: "I am bipolar as well. I don't take any meds. I went through years of therapy. The thing I think helped the most though was I would have people close to me in a nice way tell me when I was having attacks. This help me discover how to tell on my own when I wasn't acting like myself or over reacting to things. Now I think before I do and realize that its just in my head. I don't know if this helps. But it really help me allot to where I don't need meds and panic attacks have become few and far between."

Charles & Willa replied: "There are natural products for anxiety / depression , etc. Kava kava, for anxiety ,and St John's wort for depression are the big ones. Herba and psychoactive drugs can interact and cause problems. Sometimes a (weaker) herbal remedy can block receptors and cause the stronger pharmaceutical to not work. Do not take herbs and prescription drugs for the same symptom at the same time. The best idea would be to seek out a MD who also is into natural and holistic medicine, who can recommend a treatment program. Counseling and psychotherapy could help, and it is all natural. That could be a better more long term solution, and use the drugs in the mean time."

Has anyone had any side affects from taking Zoloft? I've been taking Zoloft low dose(1/2) tab at night for panic attacks.They seem to work great for that but I get these dull headaches and my eyes burn and feel like rocks,plus I don't sleep well and wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. Zoloft drains the life out of me and I feel like I have to sleep all the time but can't go back to sleep. I am quitting the Zoloft as I've only been on it for a few weeks.It's not worth the side affects,at least not for me.My energy level is down to almost zero. Just curious as to what effects it's had on you. Thanks

inlove<3 replied: "i was taking the small dose..but the whole pill for depression. one night i was alone and i got really anxious like. i layed in my bed and i curled up in a ball and i clawed my arms. i didnt mean to, it just happend... i was like incoherent, and just like idk how to explain it. u need to tell your doctor that this is happening. call him/her and tell them, dont wait until you see them again."

Kaycee replied: "Zoloft gave me facial spazisms. You should never put up with a drug that you detest. There are plenty of drugs out there. The ones that worked best for me were pexeva and cymbalta. You also may want to take buspar or klonopin for your panic attacks. Good luck!"

cluless replied: "I take zoloft and have never had anything like that. I am not saying it could never happen. What I am saying is though is that there are many medications available. Every medication works differently for each person. What works well for me may not work well for you. If you are having these side effects, call your dr and asked to be switched to something else. Like I said, there are plenty of medications available. Don't let any dr tell you that you aren't having the side effects that you are having (that has happened to me and it's not right. . kinda a long story. . I'll spare you). Zoloft should not be making you feel this way so you need to switch to something that works better for you."

Am I expecting too much too soon on my husband's depression healing? Husband has had depression issues that have gone back about 8 or 10 years. This year he has hit rock bottom. Our business isn't doing well and rather than help me fix it he has been frozen unable to help. He's tried several antidepressants and is currently on 200mg Zoloft and today started seeing sparks of white out of the corner of his eyes. He is in counseling and has been for about 6 months. I'm not seeing much improvement. We're Christians and he's seeing a Christian counselor. I am at the end of my rope. Maybe he needs to go to the hospital or something. Any suggestions?

debra_lee_m replied: "I am 27 and have been struggling with depression for 13 years or more. My last resort was zoloft. Zoloft made me feel very homocidal. I'd be laying next to my husband and be having invasive thoughts of stabbing him ect. I've tried over 6 different anti-depressants. None have worked. I'd love to be able to go into a hospital to get it all sorted out. I wouldn't need to worry for myself or others. I have 2 kids though and I don't know how my husband would manage without me. I have not been on any medication for 2 years and I feel better than when I was on them. Get him into a hospital. He'll thank you for it later."

chrisgarden4girls replied: "My dad is a business owner and was also my boss for years. He got severe depression a couple of years ago and did end up in the hospital for few days . We are also Christian and he did read the bible a lot and see a counselor that you can get referred to through you church for this. I thought we would lose him to this or I would never see him smile again. The medicines need time to work and the side effects have to be weighed against the way they work. In all it took about a year and a half for him to get back to just about the place he was before the depression. Dont' give up. It is more common than you think too you are not alone. We'll pray for your family."

Ed replied: "I am a 40 year old male, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, neurocardigenic syncope, my mother died in December, my immune system is bottomed out and I have had hives, cebatious cyst, viral eye infections, and I have been forced to sell every asset I own to pay 10's of thousands of dollars in medical bills. I currently take 100mg of Zoloft a day. It took 9 weeks after I started taking it to notice any improvement according to my wife, and I still am not the man I used to be, and may never be according to the doctors. You say you are christians, and that is a great thing, so I would spend much time in prayer."

snagelfritz replied: "Not know his social situation, but, maybe a good positive running buddy to get him out of the house now and then and get his mind on something fun. Positive friends can be a good help, sometimes."

ginnsu replied: "The road out of any depression is long an hard for both the person experiencing the depression, and all those around them. My suggestion would be to find as much out about what he is dealing with, maybe talk to a psychiatrist or counselor yourself to see if they can give you the knowledge and understanding you need, and give you some tools as well. Try to have patience whenever possible. And any time you notice something is not right, seek out help as soon as possible. Also, the medication always takes time to work, and real beneficial changes may take a while to show up... And I hope your husband doesn't like Grape Fruit. For me the fact that I can't eat it is the worst thing about Zoloft."

sharrona replied: "Any anti-depressants needs at least 4 to 6 or 8 weeks to work. Check webmd.com look up the meds. But the best is to have open communication with his doctor, and also go into therapy yourself. This is called sanity. And Yes it is necessary. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you all well."

TXChristDem replied: "Depression is a biophysical disease, and it sounds like your husband may need to try some different medications. There are many different categories of depressions medications and it appears that Zoloft is not working for him. It does take time to assess the medications effectiveness, but he is obviously not having any success with Zoloft. You have to be his best advocate, because right now he is not able to do it for himself. He is in a big black hole, and to him it looks like there is no way out. I know how hard this is for you. This is undoubtedly the for worse part of the marriage vows you took. You need some separate counseling to keep you able to help him. Finding a good support system is also critical. I joined the handbell choir at my church when going through the valley of the shadow with my husband, and it made all the difference for me. It gave me one hour a week to concentrate on some great music, and a great support system of wonderful Christian women to pray with for my husband."

Tanya N (thesingingbeaner) replied: "Go to a good psychiatrist, not a counselor. I would even suggest a mental hospital, even an outpatient program. There is no shame in asking for help. The shame is knowing you need it and not making an effort to get it. Tell him, he needs to help himself, he has to want to help himself. Sometimes we all need a little help now and again. I fought "depression" for years only to find out I was mis-diagnosed and over medicated. Get a real diagnosis. It can really change your life. The truth is everyone gets stressed, everyone takes on too much now and again. Constantly changing meds won't help either. It doesn't make him less of a man or husband to admit he needs some help. When I was finally properly diagnosed, it changed my life. My 360 page has a brief story on what I went through in one of my blogs (on being normal), it may help. I have been there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to want to see it. Good luck, Tanya"

fifty replied: "There was a recent article documenting depression treatment percentages and how many drugs needed to be tried before finding an effective treatment. It was in Yahoo news and is easily locatable. It sounds like your husband may have a genetic predisposition to depression since he has had it for so long. Now he has a situational issue which is exacerbating the depression. It would be common for a depressed person to lose steam and to give up rather than to pitch in and find a solution to the problem. Obviously, finding a solution would relieve the depression to some extent and not finding a solution would exacerbate the depression, but the depressed person is helpless to relieve his depression. His behavior is maladaptive. His depression appears to be a difficult case. It is important to find either outpatient or inpatient help that deals primarily with such cases. There is a facility in New Jersey that specializes in difficult to treat depression, but I don't know the name of the facility. One idea would be to look at the roster of psychiatrists or psychologists in your state university and see who teaches the depression courses and either go to that person or seek a list of referrals from that person. Simply seeing a counselor or a religious counselor is not sufficient for treating difficult depression cases. It is like going to a GP for heart disease. If you would go to a top heart doctor for heart disease, then you need to seek out the top depression practitioner. The Christian counselor should have referred you to someone else as that is what a true Christian would do."

SNAP! replied: "i don't know that there is anything YOU can do other than be loving and supportive...if he's had this illness for 8-10 yrs he's not likely to be cured overnight...it's probably going to be a long road with many ups and downs...maybe you can find a support group for family members with mental illness or see a therapist yourself if you are "at the end of your rope" feeling overwhelmed...good luck to you both"

oddball59 replied: "Dealing with a relative who has depression can be extremely frustrating. And what doesn't help either is that they LOOK ok, they don't have stitches or crutches etc. You need so much patience and more sometimes than you have got left. I really do empathize. The treatment your husband is having at the moment seems to be what one would expect. If he feels suicidal then hospital would be a must. I really feel you need time out. Is there someone else who could care for your husband, to allow you some free time to yourself on a regular basis? Maybe you could organize a rota? I think it's imperiative that you get away for a bit. If this is not possible you need to be putting a little bit of fun in your life. Even if it is just organizing to go out and meet friends and have a coffee. You need to be doing this on a regular basis so that YOU don't go under. Be generous to yourself. It is not being selfish, it is absolutely necessary. I understand how hard it is to see your husband not able to help you with the business, can anyone else put a few hours in. Never be too proud to ask for help. You NEED it at this time. Remind yourself also that your husband is UNABLE to help at this time. Depression is one of the most tormenting conditions to go through. It really does paralyse you at times. You'll need to be patient with him because I bet he is already feeling guiilty for not being able to do his share. That guilt can make his condition worse. Start from today to pencil in your diary something for you each day, a relaxing treat or whatever you enjoy. These are stressful times for both of you, I do hope it soon passes. Best wishes."

How much of my (soon to be ex) wife's Infidelity & deciet was related to Major Depressive Disorder? Our marriage hit the rocks due to her & I being unequally yolked ( religiously) she believed in Christ, but she didn't show it with me. She was diagnosed with an illness (Major Depressive Disorder) and she would hit me, say the meanest things and then tell me to leave. I recently found the proof of her having an affair after at least a month of Suspiscion....She wrote in her own diary that I hit her and cheated on her & I can't figure out why would anyone lie to themselves through a devotional. She is not on her meds anymore and I don't know how long she has not been taking the Zoloft. I know I can't contribute her infidelity, forging and hot check writing all to the disease, but I fear that the lover she moved in doesn't TRULY have a clue what he is in, & I also fear his violent temper/ understanding may spark him to wail on her. I shouldn't care anymore, but I share a child with this woman and I wish I could know how much of all this Drama is due to her illness.

kkat replied: "I don't know how much infidelity was due to her disorder, but it really doesn't matter - she did those things, and any real change in her behavior or habbits is going to take YEARS. Depression can contribute to people cheating, but they are still responsible for their actions. Not all people CHEAT in response to depression, there are other alternatives - she could have turned to YOU instead of other men, she could have turned to family, friends. She could have turned to drugs and alcohol (which would have been bad as well, but you get what i'm saying??). She still had a choice, and she chose to handle her depression by doing something that hurt YOU as well as her."

WiserAngel replied: "I had a husband who had bipolar disorder. It was severe. He got arrested, shoplifted, embezzled from his jobs, was addicted to porn, chatted in porn chat rooms and eventually met up with the women he met on line, screamed, yelled, lied, broke things, slept for days, had obsessive compulsive symptoms, was addicted to Nyquil, alcohol, etc. After doing an intervention and telling him he either needed to get some serious help or I would leave him, he told me no. So I left him. He has a new girlfriend now and she has two young children. I worry for them, but you MUST understand that this is her life's journey and it is no longer your place to save her or HIM for that matter. Let them be. You live your life now. I have a child with mine too and the best I can do is love her all I can, help her understand her father's illness and let them have once a week visits, but never overnight. All of those things you are describing about her behavior are illness related. It doesn't help that she didn't seem to have a solid spiritual grounding either. Good luck to you in the future. I hope it helps to at least know others have been through this and come through it ok."

Samba Queen replied: "Dude, just let her go. If she pisses this guy off and he wails on her frame, she'll just have to chalk it up as one of life's little learning lessons."

is it going to start working? I had been on zoloft 50mg for 4 weeks and wasnt feeling any better, therefore i returned back to my doctor to make him aware of this. Due to my feeling he put my does up to 100mg. I have now been on the 100mg for 1 & 1/2 weeks so on zoloft for a total of 5.5 weeks. Is it going to strat working?? Dont get me wrong im an having a few good days, but sometime hit rock bottom again! Do i wait longer??? or go back to my Dr again?? dont know what to expect.....will it ever work??

super.lola69 replied: "wait a week or 2 longer, if it hasnt helped then go see the doc."

Kitia_98 replied: "Go back and switch. I've had really good luck with Celexa. Ask to try something different. Remember, though, you will no feel perfect all the time no matter what you try"

Karen B replied: "I would definitely discuss this with your MD. It should have already started working."

prncessang228 replied: "i would go back to your doctor and ask to try something else i've been on zoloft for a year now and i love it. i was also taking the 50mg tablets and needed to be bumped up to 100mg but after i had the doseage increased-i felt better. zoloft comes in a max dose of 150mg but chances are again increasing it for you won't help-you already had the zoloft in your system when you increased the doseage the first time-it should have started to work after a week on the new dose. there are several drugs out there for depression and just like any other condition-it's a matter of finding out which pill works best for you. take people with high blood pressure for example, they can go through 3 or 4 different pills before they find the one that works best for them depression can be very serious and even fatal if not treated properly so it's very important that you find a pill that works for you..."

ppv replied: "You can try upto 200mg and wait for of 12 weeks. If you are not getting any result try adding one more drug. I don't know why you are taking this drug. You can try Bupropion or Mirtazapine for depression. But you must take an SSRI if you have OCD. Talk to your doctor."

johnyreb64 replied: "Typically, the SSRI's start working up to three to four weeks and since your physican increased your dosage to 100 and you have notice no change, you can go upt to 200 mg per day however ask your doc about Cymbalta or Effexor. I think it would work wonders for you. Lexapro is another alternative, as well. Go back to the doc, see a pyschiatrist."

Scotty replied: "Did your doctor do a physical and blood test on you before he put you on zoloft? Depression can also be caused by an underactive thyroid, vitamin deficiency, hormonal imbalance, amino acid deficiency and toxicity among other things. I was depressed too, and my doctor did a blood test on me and found that I was deficient in Vitamin B12 (B12 deficiencies cause depression) and deficient in some other vitamins too. You really should make sure that there isn't something physiological causing your depression, because if there is that is what your doctor should be treating. If your doctor is not knowledgable about the other causes of depression then you can find a doctor who is and who will do the proper tests on you at"

peppermint_paddy replied: "When your doctor put you on a medication, did he also give you a little advice on changes to make in your life? When a doctor gives you medication for a cold or other ailment, they tell you rest, get sleep. Stay home from school or work for a few days. Did you get any additional advice? Did you get any guidance other than directions on how to take your medication? Just popping the pills is not going to do it alone. You shouldn't go out in a snowstorm when you are sick. Don't think you should carry on the same habits you did while your mind was a little 'off'. You have to make little changes mentally as well."

Kitty L replied: "First of all, what is your diagnosis? Then, we can go from there. You may have more than depression....most drugs take about 6-8 weeks to kick in...Make sure you told your doctor everything and have the right diagnosis....Good luck, Kitty"

swim7735 replied: "I've been on zoloft for many years now and I take 100mg. When I tried a higher dosage I had problems with my eyes and not feeling physically well. Everyone is different but I would let your Doctor know. Zoloft is not for everyone and if it is making you feel the same as before or worse then before then it's not the right medicine for you."

question for people that know about or have bipolar disorder...sometimes do you think you dont have it? I have been diagnosed by three seperate psychs with bipolar disorder and anxiety/panic disorder. I am with the same doctor now that I have been seeing for about six years, it was very rough in the beginning because as he put it "i am one of the hardest bipolars he has treated" (Bipolar I rapid cycler) So anyways, I don't always notice my mood swings, I do know when I hit rock bottom though. My mom and dad are very supportive, pay for my appts and treatment and have dealt with all my bullshit for years the problem is sometimes I start to think I don't have it, of course this is usually when my mom says "I think you are getting a manic episode, be careful!" (I've spent some time in the slammer thanks to manic episodes) So does anyone experience this? I consistently take my medication, which is a lot (Lithium, Depakot, Abilify, Lamitacal, Zoloft, Klonipin). Im doing well but I dont want to think im ok and stop taking my meds and wind up in jail again or worse. Advice?

Lisa F replied: "Do you excercise and eat well? I've been off my meds and a good long bike ride helps my moods more than lithium ever did. Also I try to watch my self and make sure I get enough sleep. When I don't get enough sleep for a few days then I tend to get manic. Sure sometimes I think I'm perfectly all right...but at some point I stop what I'm doing and realize I've been a little manic lately!"

nana4dakids replied: "I have a daughter who is bipolar and as soon as she turned 18 she refused to take her medications. Since then she hasn't been able to hold down a job, raise her kids or anything. Yet she feels she is fine. She has not lived with her children in 2 years and she thinks she is normal. She goes through men like water and they often are not the type I welcome in my home. I say keep taking your medications and do as your doctor says. You may think you are alright because you are as long as you keep taking the medications."

ladytoobusytotalk replied: "I have a son that gets in trouble and wont see a doctor. I wish he would take the meds. I found out I had Bi-polar and I have never spent time in jail although I did get arrested once for trying to make him go to school. No, you have Bi-polar so you might as well face it. You sound just like me, I had panic disorder and anxiety attacks for years before they diagnosed me; except I don't want to go to jail and I can't understand why you keep getting in trouble as soon as you get out of trouble. My son is the same way and it is breaking my heart. I want to do whats right. Don't ever stop taking your meds. Do what your family says; they suffer for you because they love you!"

ang3lzfir3_99 replied: "It took me along time to actually believe I had Bi-polar.Normally the only time I think I dont is when I'm Manic.Its tough. My Dr's had me on so may meds I finally just up and quit. Now I only take Wellbutrin and Lamictal.I exercise and try to take care of myself. I have rapid cycleing also. I also have two kids that I know needs me to be well for them this is why I stick with it. For getting into trouble I know what you mean.I'm now on a years probation for writing bad checks after I dropped my meds for a month.Stick in there and make it to all your appts. Listen to your family they know your moods as well as you do."

Christie L replied: "at age 16 my daughter was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder . the struggles we as a family have gone through are as real as your fear is . according to my daughter, being manic feels good. of course she does not see what the rest of us see. when she feels as though her illness has magically gone away,(because the meds are working!) she stops taking them and within a day or two the mania reappears and we begin the process all over again. I, like your mom will never stop being the one that she can count on, even though she treats me like the enemy. i can tell when she is down or up and always take the necessary steps so she can be well again. by not taking care of herself and following drs orders, she not only endangers herself,but gives up her right to choose for herself, the one thing she hates the most. nothing about this illness makes sense so to help myself and to be a better caregiver, i signed up for a course offered by N.A.M.I., the national association for the mentally ill, called the family to family education program. it was free and run by regular people who had similar experiences with mental illnesses. it was the best thing i could have done for both my daughter and myself. it gave me hope where once ther was none. the most surprising thing that happened during the course of the class was that it was being held by a woman and her bipolar daughter. none of us could believe our ears when ,on the last day of class, they told us their story. our story began 6 years ago and i am happy to report that my daughter is doing very well and has not relapsed for over two years. like all of us bipolar people have good days and bad days. thank goodness i no longer panic when my girl gets the blues or is just having an exceptionally good day. i have learned what to look for and no longer make assumptions as to her state of mind. i will always worry and have been known to ask her if she has taken her pills, but i have learned that she really is the only one who can decide what her destiny will ultimately be .of all things that there are to do , you have taken a very important step in asking for advice and if i could say anything meaningful to you at all it would be that i think you are well on your way to "o.k." you said in your question that you consistently take your meds . the last time my daughter fell ill she had been taking her pills but still got sick. her episode was triggered by an event...the stress of my fiancee's death was too much for her to handle . so many factors can contribute to what your brain's chemistry is up to. so, keep in mind that being bipolar is not just about taking a bunch of pills to be "normal" but also involves making good choices about the way you live your life.and always recognizing that we all need help from time to time. I hope that i have been at least a little bit helpful to you my friend take care of yourself, be kind to yourself and remember that you are not alone take it easy....."

I feel so sick, please look at my symptoms and help me!? My symptoms include: neck pain/soreness, muscle aches, throat pain, headaches, body fatique, hunger but cannot eat or ill get nausea, made myself throw up but all that came out was stomach acid, dizziness, lack of concentration, and depression. I woke up yesterday morning and could not move. I slept all day and at night I woke up to write a school paper and ended up feeling so depressed that I was on the edge of wanting to kill myself. Took a shot of 151 and felt better.. drunk but better. Woke up today a little better but nausea is worse. A background of possible explanations: I ran out of zoloft 5 days ago, am getting my refill today (could be going through withdrawl) and I rock climb regularly but I have never had muscle aches this horrible before. I am a vegetarian that rarely gets protein and rarely eats anything healthy. Plus tons of stress. Help me please, a doctors visit is so hard to get here let alone I dont think I can walk that far. Thanks. Corrine Age 18 ok withdrawl? How can I make this process more comfortable? I just want to cry so much, I am so upset and sad but there is no reason except the pain I am having. I dont know what to do.. please help me. Um... no way can I be pregnant... I just got my period the other week and have not engaged in sexual intercourse in over a month.. maybe a month but no pregnancy is not it at all. I ran out because I am a dumbass and didnt get a refill for it. I liv eon campus at college so I dont really have any good idea where pharmacy's and stuff are. I need to take it, I want to but it is just the fact that I do not have a car (freshmen cannot have cars) and I feel like shit. So I am trying to find a ride to go pick up my prescription.

Spud55 replied: "Judging by your symptoms you undoubtedly have epizootica."

dumplingmuffin replied: "sounds like withdrawal symptoms"

bmac replied: "It is definitely the Zoloft withdrawal. Never stop taking the medication suddenly. You will feel better once you get a few days worth of it back into your system."

Julep replied: "PLEASE don't waste time with this and get to a doctor. Have a friend take you, or call a cab. It could be your coming off the Zoloft, a viral illness, or any number of things. You don't say what else you take, but combining alcohol & meds is never a good thing. No one can diagnose or treat you online - get to a real human physician."

Eric C replied: "Stress does terrible things to people, and not just physically. You have to reduce your stress levels, and maybe you can do that by simply recognizing that you are in a lot of stress right now, understanding that that is what's causing these troubles and allowing yourself to take a few breaks during the day and during your stressful activities. Sit back, relax, zone out for five minutes... think of nothing at all for those five minutes and don't feel guilty for doing so afterwards."

wonderer replied: "I agree with nurse dumpling. You have been off your antidepressant for 5 days, which of course is not good at all. Get back on them and get back on the rocks, (not 151, on the rocks). That kind of exercise will give you the feel good hormone that you need to, well, feel good. Best of luck"

DVgirl replied: "It sure sounds like withdrawal symptoms to me. I understand that Klonopin can ease the severity of the withdrawal until your body gets used to it. However, Klonopin is a prescription medication, so I don't know where you would get it. Why did you run out of Zoloft? Can you get more and do you want to take it? It can be very dangerous to suddenly stop an anti-depressant. It can cause seizures, etc. Can you talk to your doctor?"
