Welcome, Francine.

 

Why did your doctor make you go off Zoloft? When did this happen? Do you have any left?

This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

I was in hospital for panic attacks and the meds never were brought to unit in spite of my requesting them and then 3 days went by and she disc the meds since I’d been off of them. I shared my withdrawal concerns a day later she put me back on them due to side effects

Hi Francine, how long were you off Zoloft?  Was it only three days?  Have you reinstated back to your usual dose?  If you have reinstated, how long have you been back on Zoloft?

 

It would be really helpful if you could put your med history in your signature, including drug name, doses, start dates and stop dates (you could look at my signature for an example).  See:  please put your withdrawal history in your signature
