  🥴   Hello all!   I’m new!   

          Been off 9.5 months from zoloft, quick taper,  2 months out taste is altered, can taste sweet, salty, but taste is pretty much gone.  Smells are far away, or very close up, but very much altered as well,  sounds LOUD,  numbness of fingers.  Been pretty scary.  Had mri, eeg, cat scan.  All normal.   Where’s my senses.  Eeeekkkk !  

 

    Thanks in advance guys.    Minty2.

Hello @Minty2

I'm sorry to hear that you're having very typical withdrawal symptoms from Zoloft and klonopin, especially when fast tapers are involved.  They're pure hell.  I bet it's been terrible, and I'm glad you found us.

Here are some links that might be useful.  Again, while these are typical symptoms, the good news is that they do--with time and patience--go away.

Akathisia vs restlessness, anxiety, agitation

What is withdrawal syndrome?

 

tics, twitches, fasciculations, spasms, cramps, restless legs

 

 

We don't recommend many supplements, but 3 that we do recommend are magnesium, omega-3, and melatonin. Here are the links for info about those. 

Magnesium

Omega 3 Fish Oil

Melatonin
