I've been taking 200 mg Zoloft for 5 yrs in combination with .5 mg Klonopin 2x daily for Panic Disorder & Mild Depression. The combination of meds really worked for numbing me but I put on a lot of weight, missed my sex life & wanted to start "feeling" a bit. A little laugh here, a little cry there....
Previously had been on Paxil, Xanax & Wellbutrin with Dr. Drug-Me-Up. Made me a zombie so switched docs & meds.
I have slowly (over the last six months) weaned myself off of Zoloft. Have been totally off for about 6 wks. Feel okay but know I could be feeling better. My temper is back & I've felt a lot more anxiety. Not willing to take many chances with a 2 yr old at home who loves to push my buttons! I haven't had a panic attack, but I know the road & feel like I could be headed back down it.
Don't want to up my Klonopin if don't have to. Want to have another baby sometime soon. Any advice out there on what I should do? Am thinking about Effexor but some of the postings are quite scary! Don't see my Doc for another month, may have to see her sooner.
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
