I’m so sorry to hear this. Must be so devastating for you, but I know you can absolutely beat this.  Hang in there. Akathisia is new for you correct? It was mostly insomnia and extend anxiety last time right? Are the doctors at the hospital able to look into what might have triggered this or do they not understand it there. Hope you’re in good hands

Yes it was mostly insomnia and anxiety the last time.   Every other day.   Now it’s every day and night.   Horrific.   I am at atmc they are trying all kinds of things including NAD. I am praying it works.    Thanks @Jen1234 and @RusTW   Don’t know how I will ever get off gabaoentin in this state.   Can barely feed myself the shakes are so bad.   God help me.

Don’t worry about the gabapentin right now. You can tackle that later. I’m happy it’s helping you sleep, it’s the lesser of the two evils right now IMO.

How are you now?

Zoloft, November 2019.  I worked up to 50 mg and stayed there until 1 year later. I tapered for 3 months, which should consider to be cold turkey.
Tapering schedule:
Month 1: 37.5 mg

Month 2: 25 mg

Month 3: 12.5 mg

Month 4(Half the month): 6.75 mg
Month 4(Other half): 0 mg December 9, 2020
