hey everyone. I posted on here a few months ago. I was on zoloft (50 mgs) for about 2 years for depression. Once out of my marriage, on my own, and doing quite well, I decided to stop it. Well, within a few weeks panic attacks started, and I have had them ever since. I also experiencved withdrawal, electric shocks, weird sensations in my head, etc. Doc gave me xanax which I only took a few times. Didnt want to become addicted. I really wanted to be drug free. Well, after struggling with the panic attacks, I decided to go back on zoloft cause I couldnt deal with them anymore. I think going off zoloft started the panic attacks. I also cant deal with the weird feelings in my head. sometimes I feel really spacey and not all there. Still have withdrawal symptoms after 4 months of not taking it. Is this possible? Sometimes I wonder if stopping the zoloft screwed up my brain somehow. Can this happen?? Sometimes I feel like Im going crazy. Well, I started the zoloft 3 days ago--at 25 mgs. I have this really weird sensation in my head--almost like a headache but feels more like pressure. Should I continue with the zoloft? Has anyone else went off zoloft and went back on?? Did you experience the same thing?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
