withdrawl question (with response)

[Guest guest]

I would like to know if the withdrawl after the final

cut of ssri's is the worst? I've been weaning(from 50mg

of zoloft) since the end of Jan 06 up through Nov 13.

This seems to be the worst of all. Is it " psychological "

because I no longer have this crutch or is it because

my body no longer has any medication in it's system?

(I wonder if could also be a combination of pms and

holiday blues combined with withdrawl. >>

* Yes, the last bit can be the worst.

<<How long does it take for our body to completely rid

the drug from your system?>>

** The drug in your body is not the problem. The problem is the alterations

the drug has made to your brain. These are structural alterations that nature

would never do; therefore, your brain does not know how to accommodate these

changes. This is what gives people all the problems.

<<**** or Moderator - Is still accepting

consoltations? and if so does she do any in the am hours

during the weekdays? (say between 9: 30 - 1:00)

I am on the east coast. I wanted to check before I filled

out any papers and sent a payment because I recall her

stating she was taking a break. Thank you. >>

** I am doing consultations but on Saturdays only from 1pm on eastern time.

Occasionally I can do a weekday (the day varies) but it would not be before 1pm.

Regards,
