Hello and welcome to SA.

 

Can you please put your most recent drug dosage information in a signature, using these instructions? https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/18343-please-put-your-withdrawal-history-in-your-signature/

 

 

Also, can you please double check the timelines? I'm having trouble understanding it. (For example, when was your last dose?) Thanks.

 

In July, did you reinstate with 6.75mg of Zoloft? Are you currently taking that? 

Reinstatement can sometimes be helpful in letting people become stable, then they can taper off more slowly and safely. Here is more info: https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/7562-about-reinstating-and-stabilizing-to-reduce-withdrawal-symptoms/

 

 

The Remeron may have further sensitized your already sensitized system. 

 

We'll help you get this sorted out. Again, welcome.
