I Quit Cold Turkey

i really thought, the zoloft wasn’t doing anything for my PTSD… I began to think “What’s the worst that could happen? How were humans BEFORE the invention of medication?” I also quit because I wanted to go back to drinking alcohol, as I couldn’t drink alcohol while taking the zoloft…. Whenever I did drink massively, while I was STILL on the zoloft… I ended up pouring bleach into my right eye; and I don’t recall that at all, whatsoever… that’s how drunk I was… if it weren’t for my family, I would’ve went blind, or even worse… they were there, washing my eye out constantly….

It’s very apparent I need to not only get back on medication, but seek professional help before it’s too late. My PTSD has gotten so horrifically bad, I cringe at certain numbers, because those certain numbers remind me of certain traumatic events when I was at that age (for example, 11, 14, 18)… I wasn’t like that when I was taking my zoloft….

I had quit out of rage because of the ignorant stigma I faced, when I went to go get my medicine…. I shall say that I will NEVER use Walmart Pharmacy ever again…. I’d frankly, would prefer an electronic pharmacy. So at least then, I don’t have to deal with human interactions at all….

But yea… don’t ever quit your medicine cold turkey. That was a huge mistake of mine….. out of ignorance and arrogance that I would be okay without zoloft…. Now I depend on drugs to keep myself from possibly attempting suicide.
