well, right now as i'm typing, i'm going thru the horrible side-effects of withdrawing from Zoloft suddenly. i am not doing this because i want to, but because of insurance reasons. i no longer have prescription drug coverage and i cannot afford to pay the ridiculous price that the company charges.
my side effects include extreme nausea[i just tried to vomit about 10 minutes ago but couldn't get anything out], and these sudden zaps i feel in my head that makes me feel very disoriented. i do not like this feeling at all. it's prohibiting me from doing things that i normally do and it is making me feel more depressed. because of this, all i want to do is lie down and try to go to sleep. but even that seems to be hard to do.
in the past i tried to just gradually taper down my dosage but i still had similar side-effects. the withdrawal symptoms for Zoloft are not to be taken lightly at all. they are very serious, at least in my case.
here's my advice to anyone who's considering taking Zoloft. don't.
