(I do have other posts)

So here goes was on 150 for over 2 years feb I decided to try taper off (without asking doc) so from feb I reduced 25mg every 3 months, August I went to 75mg, then 2months later Oct 14th I went to

50mg Tuesday I felt anxious, shakey, all over dread feeling & no appetite, Tuesday night I took my 75mg again, Wednesday I went to the doctor who told me I shouldn’t of tried to come off them and put me back on 100mg taken this since wed! So 4nights! This is my 4th day woke up still anxious tired go hot & cold! Taken 40mg propanalol at 9:15 to try lessen the side effects (taken this before) how long till this gets better?

Anyone done the same?

p.s see doc again 30th who may increase to 150mg

    Why are you taking a blood pressure medication while you are tapering off your zoloft? 🤔 Is there a reason for this? 🤔 Did your doctor tell you to do this? 🤔 You should never taper off an antidepressant by yourself that's very dangerous especially to go from 150mg down to 75mg without the help of your doctor. Keep me posted on what your doctor tells you to do when you see him on the 30th. Hugs to you hun 💯 ❤️
