Hi...i would just like to share something with you all. About 4 yrs ago i had a kind of breakdown,i was perscribed fluxotine..well about a year passed by and one day i just decided to stop taking them for no other reason that i thought i didnt need them and i dont like taking meds. Anyway, i was expecting maybe not to feel well,or something...but nothing . i got on with things and didnt think twice. Well 2years down the line i was feeling slighty overwhelmed again and i was perscribed ..Sertraline. after about a month or so i remember thinking " actually i "think", i feel a bit lighter so alls good, apart from the underline fact that like i said before i really dont like taking meds. after about another month that ok feeling went..and i was just plodding along you know..i dont mean i felt sad or deppressed just nothing . Anyway, about 8days ago i ran out of Sertraline. I wasnt overlly concerned i just thought well they didnt make me feel any different so thats it . Iwill just have a go at taking nothing as i have done most of my adult life. what happened next is a shocker. Anger like i hardly ever felt before,no patience at all,horrible waking up soaked and having to change 3 times a night, total change of personality...( where has Gel gone?!!!) But, the most concerning point is the brain "shift" some describe is as brain freeze,frazzle..etc for me i would say a kind of feeling like my head feeling like something every now and then shakes my head from side t side and it is the most horrible feeling ever. its been about 9days now but this morning i took 2 ( someone elses ) as i just wanted a bit of time to work this out. mainly though, i am angry at myself for allowing myself to even start taking a med such as this but also very angry at the people that make this drug. i feel like an experiment and i feel weak of heart and substance for allowing myself to go down that route. What i do next i havnt decided i will not let this beat me but not to be in charge of your personality is very surreal and not for me. I will find the strength and get off this dangerous man made little tablet ! Gel xxx and good luck to every one who is doing the same xx

I find that drugs r always advertised on tv for various issues..
adds show happy thin beautiful actors laughing running round free from pain.. So over advertised. Even when I found one that helped it never measured up to thei Big PHARM adds on tv.
Eventually all those side effects starts to show up.. Then going off is miserable. just another month or more out of my life again..
everyone is different of course.
Stay well stay strong.
HOPE

I had terrible debilitating migraines..total body aches worse than the flue. Barfing and high blood pressure not to mention urine retention.
as they say sometime the cure is worse. I don't trust big pharm... Selling the cures left & right on tv. Show people with happy smiling interactions enjoying life...they r actors not taking the meds.
just more reason to read all the clinical trials & side effects before trying these new meds.
take care
(( hugs))
