Heba Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) I stopped Zoloft at 0.006 on October 15 and since then had severe depression. I tried to reinstate today (after 25 day of stop) and had bad anxiety. Which is safer? To continue the reinstate hopefully it will work or just stop after this first pill 💊 today? is it considered CT if I stopped the drug after 1 day of reinstate? And why is it dangerous to try to reinstate after 24 days of stopping the drug (more than three weeks?  Edited November 13, 2021 by ChessieCat resized font Link to comment
Moderator Onmyway Posted November 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi @Heba welcome to SA. I am sorry you are suffering after stopping Zoloft. Can you please give us some information - did you stop your medication cold turkey or did you taper slowly to 0.006mg. How long did you taper?  Reinstatement is definitely an option but it is important to know what your tapering was like before we recommend the right dosage to reinstate. Here is some information about reinstating. About reinstating and stabilizing to reduce withdrawal symptoms - Symptoms and self-care - Surviving Antidepressants  Can you please update your signature so that we can understand your situation better and advise you.  Hope you feel better soon, OMW   "Nothing so small as a moment is insurmountable, and moments are all that we have.
