Zoloft update / health anxiety

2 Replies

So, I officially start weaning off every other day. I didn’t take it last night, and woke up with what feels like bricks in my head. Oww. Had super vivid dreams.

I’m still terrified of developing or of having schizophrenia or psychosis. I’m just like you guys and even though my docs say I’m fine, I’m still scared. I’m getting better at handling it but it’s still quite scary.

I’m also pretty scared the side effects of Zoloft won’t ever go away!! It’s only been 3 weeks but the way I’ve reacted seems more psychological? I’ve def met people on here that reacted like me but it weirds me out that there aren’t too many vivid descriptions of my reactions online.

I got depersonalization bad, I got foggy feelings, dream like feelings, vivid dreams to the point that they felt so real, numbness, dizziness, felt like my brain took longer to wake up after sleeping, even felt like my brain was in overdrive and kept comparing people’s looks to other people I know!

I also notice my eyes playing tricks on me more since I’ve grown terrified of the fear of hallucinating.

I probably need to calm down. And believe the doctors. Ugh. Hypochondria sucks
