Purpleacacia: How long does it take for the brain to readjust?

[Purpleacacia]

I've been off zoloft for 3 months now and still have anger/suicide that's not normal for me. I've been getting better, but last night I felt like I just snapped and lost control of myself. Please tell me this is normal even 3 months later.And any tips that helps keep it going to that place?

Purpleacacia -- Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants (SA)

What you are experiencing is withdrawal. There are many symptoms during withdrawal from an SSRI such as Zoloft, anger and suicidal ideation among them. You can read more at these links:
What is withdrawal syndrome
Important topics about symptoms

I've quoted a post in which ChessieCat provided links to topics on coping with emotional symptoms of withdrawal:

These topics might provide helpful tips:

• Neuro Emotions
• Non-drug techniques to cope with emotional symptoms
• Yoga for calming (very simple poses can help greatly)
• Guided Meditations, Calming Videos, Sleep Hypnosis
• Acupuncture - Posts #6 & #8 (not detox or stimulation)

 

I hope you'll find the information in the SA forums helpful for your situation. I'm sorry that you are in the position that you need the information, but am glad that you found us.
