Mentor Greatful Posted July 18, 2021 Mentor Share Posted July 18, 2021 @Granny My heart goes out to you. I am so glad that you have support. I know it feels like forever when you feel so awful, but my guess things will start to level out soon. 3 months is a great accomplishment. Keep looking forward. Do you meditate? I would have never thought of doing it until this W/D happened. I really do find it to be helpful. Try and quiet the mind and teach the body to relax. I wish I had the magic wand to help with the depression. It is so hard to go through, I know. But know it will lift. These drugs have done a lot to change our brains, but we know that our brains are healing as we speak...... We will make it out of this horrible pain, we are strong......

Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted July 30, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted July 30, 2021 @GrannyIf I were you, I would taper down to a lower dose before jumping off. We at SA suggest to get on as low a dose as possible before stopping altogether. Here is the thread on tapering Zoloft. See the link in @jutland86previous post about SERT Occupancy levels. Even at low doses, these drugs have a major effect on our nervous systems. Tapering Zoloft If I were you, I would reinstate back to 22.5 mg of Zoloft, and then continue on with a gradual taper. This would be 10% less than the 25 mg. These things have a way of catching up with us weeks or months later, and you may be in for an unpleasant surprise down the road.

Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted July 30, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted July 30, 2021 After you Reinstate to 22.5, stay there for at least a month, if not longer. It may be a shock to your system that you were at 0 for a few days. The sooner you reinstate, the better. These doctors know little to nothing about how to properly get off of psych drugs.

Granny Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 hi Greatful, yes i get ruminating (had to look that up) thoughts all the time. i dont think ive learned to deal with it very well, i just try to go into positive self talk when i realize im ruminating.or i get into some humor, humor always helps. i measured out my 22.5 mg zoloft today, 7 days worth., i will stay on 22.5 mg for a few weeks i guess, actually have no clue whats next, yes, you most definitely can get thru all this! just remember you are not alone.

Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted September 17, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yes, it is quite possible you are grieving. I heard altostrata, the owner and founder of this forum, say in an interview that as we get off these drugs, the negative emotions come back first, and the positive ones come back later. Not only that, we have neuro emotions that are caused by our nervous system being chemically off balance. Check out this thread - it goes into neuro emotions, and techniques to help: Neuro Emotions For me, it helps to find a positive activity to focus on to balance out the negative painful thoughts and feelings, like walking outside in nature, doing something artistic/creative, cooking a healthy tasty meal, praying, reading the Bible, etc. Also, a new technique I've learned to deal with negative thoughts, is say "it's only a thought", and then focus on my senses. What am I hearing? What am I feeling? What am I seeing? Notice the sounds, sights and things I'm touching, and focus on those. Please do not private message me.

Mentor Greatful Posted September 18, 2021 Mentor Share Posted September 18, 2021 @Granny How are you doing today.. I have been worried about you. Remember your brain is healing when it is a wave. I want you to read this story, it will help you understand why you are feeling the way you do. It is about a woman who healed from benzos and what her brain is doing to heal Click on the title and it should open up. Remember Granny us long time drug users need to stick together, we can do this one day at a time.❤️ Do you ever read any of the success stories? It really does help to be reminded that our brains can work just fine off of these drugs. We can write our success stories and encourage other members who wonder if their brain can heal after so many years on the drugs. https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/24894-greatful-is-this-withdrawal-or-to-many-med-changes-at-once/ 1995?
