How long to washout an AD?

Posted by chloe on March 20, 2001, at 19:14:34

I have been on an AD for at least 10 years. Elivil in the '80's, Prozac for 5 years, Zoloft for 5 years, then Serzone for about two months.

With my pdoc, I decided to discontinue AD's because I was no longer getting mood improvement, just more and more side effects.

After a three week taper, I have been off all AD's for about three weeks. My mood is pretty much the same, but I still have alot of the side effects, like the sweating, irritability, constipation and heartburn. Shouldn't these be gone by now? Or did I break something in my brain? I wonder if my body can still make seratonin on it's own?

Any info on AD washout would be greatly appreciated. I am worried I will be this way forever...

Thanks,
Chloe
