I would do anything

I would do anything for whatever I’m going through to feel like anxiety this feels nothing like anxiety and hasn’t it sucks. The doctor said I can stop the Zoloft so I guess I’m stopping it tomorrow. I’ve been having one hell of an evening I just feel so funky I’m so nauseous my chest feels funky head feels funky I keep randomly feeling like I’m lightheaded and my body keeps getting a weird anxiety tingly feeling all over.like idk if it’s my bp dropping or what but like why would it be dropping then I take it and it’s normal idk. I’m hopeless anymore. I’m tired of how intense it is I can’t function. I always get told it’s only anxiety and to basically get over it. I swear im never ever going to feel remotely normal or even calm. Hell I was sitting on my couch earlier got nauseous then got this weird brain zap and got dizzy and funky feeling. Keep getting these head pains too. I don’t know what else to do it’s literally like I’m just waiting to die from whatever I have going on if it’s even killing me idk. I hate this so much. I want a life back.

those sound like anxiety symptoms. When I started taking Zoloft until I got used to it and at a high dose, it made me feel that way. It would make me nauseous and then I would spiral and have those exact symptoms.

you should wean off the zoloft to minimize any withdrawals. I would try to talk to someone on a weekly basis. The can help you stay grounded and help you challenge the distortive thinking that is causing distress.

Don't bye into what others think or say. Severe anxiety is real and should be taken seriously. You are in the fight of your life right now. So celebrate any success you can manage. Even if its just making yourself a meal.

thank you I was told I can just stop taking the Zoloft since it was only 25mg. I really feel like I’m fighting for my life it’s horrible.

Well i hope other in this group will be able to help U as my experience with the medication U mention is zero. However i am alarmed that Ur doctor said just stop them. I wish U luck with finding an answer & fast .

I've just looked on line & it say you shouldn't go cold turkey right away & infact ur doctor is supposed to give U a tapering doage between 4 to 8 weeks , reducing it. Go back & tell ur doctor U want a lower dose to wean off the zoloft as u wish to come off them safely. If ur doctor refuses to help U then report them to health officials who should investigate.

Thank you yeah they just told me that since 25 mg is the lowest dose I can just stop them even though you can cut them in half like the pill has it so you can break it into 12.5mg

then try this go half a tab foe a week then quarter then try zero . Maybe thats the best way as its slow but ur mind & body are retraining too.
