Another day - 15 days off Zoloft

Ok! So, I’m about to go to my neurology follow up and I’ll ask all the questions I posted about in another post. Then I’ll put my worries to rest.

Yesterday was a disaster (feel free to read my post for a grand old time lol) and it sent me into a very nervous state. My family thought the psychiatrist was a joke, as did my closest friends... I guess I should believe him that he misdiagnosed. It’s just scary because hypochondria is a bitch.

So I woke up this morning at 8 feeling TOTALLY like myself. Snoozed, and then my brain got that fuzzy morning feeling again. It does freak me out. I never got this pre Zoloft. But after the psychiatrist’s false “diagnosis”, I’m like overthinking everything! He really got to me

I have another therapy session tonight because I need it! I’m ready to start over and be me again.

I’m starting working tomorrow! HR needed to go over my note.

Just a quick tale about what I experienced a few years ago. My anxiety needed to be calmed down. My doctor put me on BUSPAR. Said it was a mild drug that old folks used and I would be ok.

Because I Had to find something to help stop the anxiety I took what he told me to and because I had known him for years, he told me to call anytime for any reason.

Every single day, I called him, every single day......... and he would call me back at night while he was driving home.

I had one off putting symptom after another, and " spells" that I had never had, and exhaustion that , AS I was walking back into my apartment, I would JUST lie down right there at the door and sleep for 3 hours. I could walk outside and forget which way the post office was and would just go back home, and fall asleep as I walked into the apartment.

The doc, " talked me off the ledge" every single night, for 33 days. He said, TAKE MORE, Take LESS, you just need to get used to this.

At day 34 I said, I do not see a gray tail behind me and I refuse to be a lab rat another day, this is the WRONG MEDICINE.......nobody should feel like this, if it was the right medicine.

and I WAS RIGHT.

My doc was very kind and said, he agreed............off I went and I felt better in a day or 2 and we came up with another med...........that worked RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

the end.

Yup... these drugs are definitely different person to person. I’m so glad you advocated for yourself. That sounds like a caring person; it’s just hard because the docs are aware of the side effects and probably don’t take this stuff themselves, so they don’t know how it feels. I’m glad you found something that worked better!!
