In reply to Re: withdrawal symptoms coming off zoloft, posted by Riss on April 9, 2005, at 12:12:16
Hello there.
My name is Kim and I am new to this posting. Here is my unfortunate situation. I have been on SSRIs for 11 years. I starting taking them when I was very mildly depressed (situational depression) and stayed on them for so long only because I did not want to rock the boat and had no side effects on them. About one month ago, I stopped taking Zoloft. I was taking 50mg at the time. Well, the past month has been torterous, as you can imagine! I had the worst agitation/anxiety and aggressive moods (where are totally out of my character). I was never like this before I took an SSRI. Well, thankfully, the aggressiveness and irritability have stopped. But now, a month later, my symptoms are as follows:
extreme fatigue, despondance, trouble concentrating, foggy and light headedness. Has anyone here had withdrawal's that lasted for more than one month that can offer any words of inpsiration that it will end and if so, how long did it take to feel normal again? Thanks so much!
