In reply to viridis Does anyone feel better OFF an SSR/SNRI?, posted by McPac on January 28, 2003, at 20:36:24
Zoloft made me feel just about every emotion imaginable, changing from hour to hour (I guess this would qualify as rapid cycling?). This included anger, which isn't normal for me -- I do get angry occasionally, but it's always justified and is quite manageable. With Zoloft, my temper could flare for no apparent reason. My wife asked if it really was necessary for me to take a drug that "turned me into a complete ***hole" (in her words).
I got off it pretty fast, and after that experience my psychiatrist said no more SSRIs. Aside from Wellbutrin, that was definitely my worst experience with a psychiatric med --and I was only taking 12.5 mg!
