Have been on 50mg Zoloft for ~3months. At first, I felt euphoric ...

l'm the same way, and am in the process of weaning myself off of Zoloft, l take milk thistle to clease my liver faster, but am having severe mood swings and panic attacks. lt takes about 3 days for these meds to get out of your system. l went to the doctor and all he does is add meds....ativan, xanax, etc. l feel like l'm goeing crazy!!! This is the 4th and final time l will take these meds. Wean yourself slowly, one half a pill for 3 days, and then half of that for 3 days. Get some milk thistle to cleanse your liver from that crap. Try amoroym, on the web...heard positive things about it.

Hello Heidi, Just wanted to let you know that I took Zoloft for 4 yrs. I have been off of it for 1 yr. I no longer take any anti-depressants although I do still suffer with depression sometimes I feel MUCH better now that I am off the Zoloft. I decided to stop taking it because I gained 30 lbs and was very anxious and jumpy. I also started having these weird noises in my head that felt like I was hearing my heart beat in my head. If something startled me I would nearly jump out of my skin. As far as you biting your nails....I pulled my hair out..literally! I would be watching tv and would pull hairs out of my head without even knowing I was doing it. I also picked at my skin and have scars to prove it! I felt like I was losing my mind! I had NO emotions...I didn't cry, get mad or anything. I decided that I didn't need that crap and slowly weaned myself off. I did it over the course of a month...half the dose for 2 weeks...1/4 for one week and then 1/4 every other day for a week. I experienced aches and pains that I didn't normally have while I was coming off the meds and I cried a lot....you may do the same thing, but trust me it will get better and it will be worth it in the long run to not be on Zoloft. I hope this has helped you. Let me know if I can help any further...Good Luck. Shelli M.
