You may notice that I posted earlier about my withdrawals. It IS actually getting better. I have taken myself off all vitamins and herbs, just as a precaution. Yes, even the daily multivitamin. The only thing i will take now is a Hair,Skin & Nails gummy vitamin and sometimes a pack of GNC Women's vitamins. These seem to be safe and have no side effects which is why I continue them. I wanted to come back to the forum because

I forgot to mention alot of the side effects of the coming off zoloft. 

ANGER

DEEPER DEPRESSION

MORE STRESS

EARACHES

A GENERAL WEIRD FEELING

CRYING SPELLS

NOT ABLE TO HANDLE A SIMPLE TASK

NOT ABLE TO REMEMBER THE QUESTION I WAS ASKED 2 MINUTES AGO (this is soooooo embarassing!!!)

JOINT ACHES

However, I have been sleeping better and having less racing thoughts at night. I also have begun going back to the gym, so I know this is helping. Wish I would have done it right when I went off the zoloft, might have saved me alot of heartache. I would suggest this to anyone coming off the zoloft. Exercise. It sucks, I know, TRUST ME. But you will feel better and look better and it gives you something else to focus on besides your depression and worries.

I still have a TON of 100mg pills left, sometimes I wonder if i should do a tiny dose to maintain , but i dont even want to backtrack onto that devil medication. GRRRR

Will keep yall posted and let you know how the Psych appointment goes in January. Happy Holidays, All!

      i was noticing that some of them were contributing to my anxiety and other things. its probably an allergy to green #6 or something silly like that, i am trying to do process of elimination.....so that i can make it through a day functioning like a normal human being. and even though there is no "NORMAL" i want to feel even level and balanced. im always taking so many meds (RX, vitamins, supplements, energy drinks, etc.) so it couldn't hurt i figured.

      so that's why, just a little experiment im trying.

      Ah okay...It sounds like a good idea! I agree thrre is no general normal for people. ..I like to think of my feeling functional as my own 'normal'..If that makes sense?

      I have cut down to one coffee a day and have changed my diet...no junk food, processed foods etc and more of brown rice etc...and just started taking vitamin and cod liver supplements.  It could be placebo but I really think it's working.  What goes in affects the head that's how I see it!
