In reply to withdrawal symptoms from Zoloft, posted by odells on November 19, 2000, at 15:57:35
Dear Odells,
Is it possible what you're experiencing is not withdrawal, but lack of Zoloft? I've been on Zoloft twice, once for 1 1/2 years, and once for two months, and did experience withdrawal symptoms but they were markedly different from what you're describing. (Of course, people do respond differently.) The major withdrawal symptoms I experienced were 1) a sense that my brain had become a pinball game on speed, and 2) a crackling "sound" that I could feel - like the sound of crinkling saran wrap in my head.
The first time I started to come off Zoloft, I experienced a resumption of the panic attacks that you described, and went back on Zoloft for another six months. After that, I discontinued and experienced the withdrawal symptoms for about a week.
Just a thought. Maybe it's too early to go off the Zoloft?
