Im angry

[Lifesajourney97]

Sometimes I feel like Im at a loss completely, i have days where im good like we all do, and then i have days where I'm just feeling angry and overwhelmed. Today is one of those days. Im also in the process of tapering off of zoloft which ive been on for 10 years so im not sure if thats also affecting me, i mean im sure it is, but i just feel so lost. I don't even know where to start with what's going on inside my head. But i felt the need to post. Im new by the way

I’m having a very similar day. You’re not alone. I’ve been struggling the last year. Just weaned off Remeron

Why are you weaning off Zoloft?

I’m angry too. I miss my old life and feeling good. Reach out on chat any time.

Hi I have just literally put a post on similar to yours I have been on sertraline for 9 years and been fine had a blip 6 months and my anxiety rocketed I have tried increasing but it dosnt help me I wonder if my dose of 100mg have stopped working because I have been on it so long

I have heard this happening to people. It was weird the Remeron helped me for a few months and then stopped. And I tried to up dose and I couldn’t tolerate. I just told myself I’m not going to take a med that doesn’t help me .

I weaned off very slowly. I can’t say it helped. I’m about the same except now I don’t sleep great sometimes because it did help me sleep. But I’m trying other meds. I did the genotype test also to see what meds would be best for me.

How long have you been on the blip? Maybe you just need time to settle back down

Hi Plantover14I have been struggling for the past 7 months in that I had another upset which didn't help. But still I'm not feeling good. Did the test help you to find out which meds would help

[Plantlover14 in reply to SHEPHER]

No it didn’t. I tried Effexor and I can’t tolerate it.

why are you deciding to go off Zoloft?

I was on an SSRI for 10 years. And then decided to wean off. To see if I could be ok without it. 10 months off and decided to start back again. And already feeling better.

I read a comment on here by someone that said that a lot of people don’t realize how much these medications help until they stop.

I think I am a living example of that. Personally I hated that I need to take something to try and feel normal and happy but now I accept it. Strong family history of depression and anxiety so it’s my genetics and also just me.

Coming off the SSRI after 10 years for me was misery but I quit all alcohol at around the same time. So it may have been a double whammy. Now 8 months without any alcohol and my depression and anxiety persist.

Trust me. My go to with most things are as natural as possible but in this case - I think the SSRI is best choice for me.
