Chrjackson: Zoloft/Sertraline - in recovery and just hit 18months

[Chrjackson]

Hi @David95790 - I am currently on 26months post sertraline and every week that passes I improve. What's ironic is that when I wrote this post almost 9-10months ago I was in a much better place than I had been previously, however the road to recovery is still going. I would say I'm 97% back to normal - sometimes have the odd wave still but they are so shallow i barely notice. I have pretty much no symptoms of withdrawal and live a perfectly happy normal life.

 

It all feels like a very bad dream and I am so happy that I decided to come off medication, never go back on and get through the tough times. It was worth it to get back to a relative sense of normality. I can laugh, feel happy and cry which I never used to be able to.

 

Time really does heal - I hope you are also on the road to recovery? while it's long it is worth the journey.

Hi @Chrjackson,

 

did you have cognitive issues and if so how are they now?
