feel awful help!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi Everyone,nearly three weeks off zoloft after 18 months of it and it's side effects, now I'm feeling weird again, it's like I'm in a bubble, everyone is there but I feel isolated, also I have an impending sense of doom, I'm scared but I have nothing to scared of, jittery feeling in my stomach, and feelings of panic, I don't want to go back on anti'd's as I hate the side effects and to be honest they didn't really do much for me,I have ups and downs, last night My soul mate ( who has the same sh*t as me) flew in from germany, we sat up all night with a bottle of wine reliving all our good times I felt happy, then this morning I woke up to the big black cloud of nothingness, I don't know how else to describe my feelings , except I'm just off kilter, has anyone else had these feelings? and yes I did taper down , and not just stop the meds

      It's a very long story Rachel, I've been depressed on and off for years, when I was a teenager in the swinging 60's I was  on drugs, but I got off them and had a spell in hospital with a great psychiatrist, but she warned me that I may be troubled with anxiety and depression from time to time, so I learned to live with it, while my kids were at home and I had things to do it was ok, but now at my age I just feel life's over for me, I have nobody in my life, long divorced , kids all gone and married living away, so that's the short version, 

      thank's for caring,

      Lynne.
