4 months ago i quit cold turkey, before that im on zoloft almost a year but i quit as i feel  100% well and back to myself. The last 2 month actually i do not having much withdarawal sympthom but after 3 month i notice im having an anxiety and depression again. Actually i also on azathioprine for my auto immune disease and steroid eyedrop for my uvietes. Im also take inositol to reduce my withdrawal sympthom as i find it on internet it is good for ocd and depression. After i started take this all , i fell that my mental health are going down. I started to feel back to 0 when im sick and depressed. My ocd and anxiety are the worse ever. I manage to back to my GP and he advice me to go back to zoloft again. But i refused because i cant handle the side effect , lastime it was so bad and i keep thinking it and im scared. Now i notice that the sympthom decreased slowly after i quit inositol but still im on azathioprine and my dose increase to 100mg 2 weeks ago. What concern me , everyday im having this racing thought and im fight for it to feel better. My ocd also decresed but still im having it and it effect me physically and also it effect my sleep. It just not stop and im feel im going to be crazy because of this. Am i going mad? im just to scared and im thinking to go back to zoloft again but there is so many think i want to do. If i take it i will face side effect again amd it can ruin my day and work that i do right now. Could it be this sympthom cause by the azathioprine also or relapse? what should i do? i dont want to wack up in the mental hospital? please help me

    Hi... your not going crazy and things will get better.!!

    I have been at rock bottom on many occasions over many years I have taken every type of prescription medicines ( some worked, some didn't) but the Ines that did work had serious side affects.

    About 3 months ago I stopped my prescription meds that were not working and bought St Johns Wort over the counter in local pharmacy which if your not familiar with are a low mood Anxiety tablet... had anyone asked me about them b4 I would have said they can't be any good if you can by them over counter, how wrong was I...., 3 months later I'm like a new women with a happy family and marriage which I could have lost in the past things were so bad.

    It sounds so simple but it's about finding what works for you.!!

    Talk lots to anyone that listens talk to us.. it helps.

    Wish u well.X😘

    A visit to your GP might be worth considering, it is complicated by your current medication, and it would be best to seek professional advice.

    I do believe that you will get through this, and come out the other side, but at the moment it will be hard for you to think that this will ever happen. 

    Hoping for you.
