Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Hi I am , 39 years old.. been living in Holland for the past 10 years, 6 years ago i was diagnosed with Borderline... i was given Prozac which did not work, Cipramil, which did not work and then finally zoloft 100mg. I have been taking it now for 3 years along with oxazepam 10mg 3 times a day and Loramet 1 mg . I have tried to stop taking zoloft before and it was hell with a capital H... BUT now i thought i would take vitamin suppliments to help me taper off with the least withdrawel symptoms. Last week i took a quarter off my zoloft and was taking the vitamins and all seemed to be going well until today... the suppliments i am taking are... Fishoil 1000mg Flaxseed oil 800mg Evening primrose oil 1600mg, vit B1,B2,B3,B5,B6,B7 75 mg , B11 400mcg and 75mcg B12. I also take Ginko 200mg, and Valarian 300mg And Rhodiola rosea.. Last week i really thought i was going to make it.. but today i feel bloated, tired, i think i have the flu, i am aching all over, feel dizzy nauseaus.. i even vomited.. i cannot sleep properly and cannot eat properly... I basically want to get off this zoloft as i have terrible tinnitus and was told it was caused by the zoloft... I am trying my best to follow a healthy diet lots of green leaf veg , fish, chicken, turkey , salads, fruit... i have a dog and go for walks unfortunately the sun is not shining .... I have been in bed the whole day totally out of it... Is this normal? Am i taking too much healthy pills? what should i do... regards Quote
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Hi Welcome to the group! What does a quarter off zoloft mean............. This group recommends no more than 5-10% reductions at a time, then when your body has stablished reduce again by 5-10%. Have you had chance to read the files? Quote
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Hi Well i have just been working it out... i take 100mg of zoloft that is 2 pills of 50mg.. so if i worked it out correctly it would mean cutting off 5mg,,, and i am cutting off 12.5 mg... so i am obviously doing it wrong... as that is a quarter of the 50mg tablet... so i would have to half that... that is if i worked it out right... Thanks for pointing that out ... regards > > Hi > > Welcome to the group! > What does a quarter off zoloft mean.............
