Greetings!
It feels good to say that right now. I have been on Zoloft for about 3 months and it has truly changed
my life. Well, the combination of that and Wellbutrin anyway...My problem? I only have 4 more months that my insurance company will pay for my medication. I'm
already scared... The thought of going back to the life I had before medication scares the hell out
of me...
When I first started treatment for depression, about 7 months ago, my counselor told me that after taking
the medication for 6-9 months, I could stop taking them and never have a problem with depression again.
I don't believe her. I am so scared... I like feeling 'normal'. I like going through a whole day without
crying. I don't want to go through that hell again.
Has anyone successfully gotten off medication? And if so, for how long? Is there really a possibility that
I will be ok after I stop taking the drugs?As always, thanks for all your input.
Joanne
