Hi to all,
I was very public on this site when I discontinued my use of AD's back in June. I was determined to try the natural route, and be AD-Free for the first time in several years. I was able to do OK for 3 months (June, July and August)Unfortunately I began to experience a growing depression late in August, that kept getting worse
and was unlike anything I have ever experienced.A week and a half ago I went began taking Zoloft
again, as it helped me so much in the past with contolling my anxiety, panic attacks, racing thoughts and extreme social anxiety.Although its too early to tell how well it will work this time, I have already begun to feel better than I did.
So far the main side effect for me right now is
feeling very wired, and trouble falling asleep ( plus, as I said...the depression hasnt completely
lifted...but its not as bad.)Though I feel like I have failed in my attempt at being drug free...I think this is the first time I have ever experienced REAL debilitating depression that had me close to the non-functioning , I had read so much about.
Thank you Dr Bob for this website...and to those who post their experiences...as they have helped me.
Wish I could be posting a happier theme...but I wanted to be honest and report my inability to handle the depression on my own, drug free.
Hopefully these side effects will subside over the next few weeks, and I can get back to living and functioning as I have for the last few years.Buckeye Fan
