** Congratulations! Please refresh my memory. Did you slowly reduceZoloft of did you go off it rather quickly? Keep up the good work, Kendee :-)

I was only on 12.5 mg. for a couple months. It was increased to 25 mg. for 4 dys. and I had a severe neuropathy of hands (diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) & Serotonin Syndrome & had to "cold turkey" June 1st. It's taken me way longer to recover than I was even on the poison!!!

Thanks for the support, !

<<Hello everyone! Today it has been 8 months since I stopped Zoloft. I

must say that it has been the most difficult 8 months of my entire

life & I'm extremely proud that I've made it this far & never thought

that I could! Hope everyone is well!>>

Congratulations, Kendee! keep up the good work!

Janet,

You are 8 months off also? Why do you say that I am doing a little better than you are? What problems do you still have? I definitely am still struggling with many different things!

Thanks for the support!

Congrats from me too, Kendee. I'm about the same stage you are but you

are doing a little better. More power to you!!!! :-) janet

Hi Kendee;

I'm technically not off all drugs yet. I still need a douse every couple

of weeks as the brainstorms get really bad at times. So you be off

altogeher. I'm still limping along here at 9-10 mths off a great

majority of the five i was on. So you win in the off-drug dept. I

really don't think i know how bad i feel because i've felt so rotten for

so long that it is hard to tell what feeling good is :-).

Janet,

Wow! 5 drugs! You are very brave! I know what you mean about not knowing what feeling good is. I am not really sure who/what I was/did before this happened. I am not sure what feeling "normal" is anymore!

Kendee

[Guest guest]

Andthis list with all its

horrors stories, also makes me laugh a lot.

Yeah, nothing like a little psychiatric humor to spice up your day!! LOL

Hi Kendee;

I figure if i can laugh i'm feeling good. Andthis list with all its

horrors stories, also makes me laugh a lot. great senses ofhumore going

here and a pleasure to read all email. I look forward to it and am

despondent late at night when people have the audacity to get some shut

eye :-).

Yes, I am sure that is just the miracle cure that I've been waiting for! Trish, you are just way too funny! Honestly, I can't stop laughing! Possibly after roasting my granola, you could add raw liver & honey? ROFL

Kendee

[Guest guest]

Possibly after roasting my granola, you could add raw liver & honey?

I'll try that with the next batch. Maybe I'll make it ALL that way. Think anyone will notice????

I agree, Kendee, that the drugs change you from the core. I used to

pre-drugs sleep ike a rock like you. I haven't had that luxary in 16 yrs

now. However, i do fall asleep off and on all day and all night all by

myself without having to knock myself out with drugs now like very

recently. So perhaps one day, i'lll be one of those audacious people who

have the nerve to get shut eye at night :-). janet

In all seriousness, I just received 8 lbs. of grass-fed, organic beef liver today. It cost me $47.!!

I'm ordering grass-fed organic beef now, too. Liver and onions are one of my favorite dishes. I like it medium rare. With a splash of balsamic vinegar. You'll be like SuperWoman after eating 8 pounds of liver! LOL

Is it true that the grass-fed beef is tougher & you are supposed to cook it medium rare? I hate to ask a stupid question, but I'm not much of a cook! The splash of balsamic vinegar goes on after cooking?

[Guest guest]

The splash of balsamic vinegar goes on after cooking?

Just at the end. Not too much. A few drops. I ordered some grass-fed sirloin steaks and stew meat. Haven't eaten the steaks yet, but the stew meat was divine. I did it in a crock-pot with a half bottle of cabernet and baby carrots, potatoes, crimini mushrooms. Let me know how the liver is. I'd like to try some but I don't want to order EIGHT pounds! LOL
