I think I might try tapering more slowly. I was already trying to taper off, but the day that I totally forgot to take my dose I had no idea it would hit me so hard. I just wondered if I was at the point of no return, being completely off of it for 3 days already.
At my highest, I was at 100mg daily. My doctor told me to go down to 50, then to 25 after a month or so. My intent was to follow this, but I wish I'd read about the withdrawal effects before I'd been so careless to forget taking it once.
I don't think that Zoloft is a bad drug; I just wish that someone had told how badly the withdrawal symptoms could affect me before I started taking it. I may have considered a different treatment recourse before turning to the drug. Unfortunately, my doctor wasn't very informative about that part.
All this being said, would 25mg possibly be sufficient as a starting-over point for me?
