Re: zoloft withdrawal (with response)

December 31, 2006

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I had to call my dr. to get

her to ask the insurance co. to refill my prescription and she said she

wants me to go back up to 25mg. ACH! I refuse to do that. I seem to be

stabilized on the 1ml of the titration. I've been coping fine all week,

but I've also been sick and have given myself permission to let all the

house work go. I've just been spending lots of time snuggling and

reading w/ my little people. Its been rather nice. The house is a

mess, but I guess that's not as big a deal as I thought. Doesn't really

seem to bother anyone.

Thanks, once again. Hopefully, I can someday be free of this crap!

** Angel, when I read your original post it was easy to see what went wrong.

Supplements and an appropriate diet are not idle recommendations. They are

crucial to recovery.

If you're really stable, that's great. But I advise you to watch carefully

because, for most people, the damage that comes from decreases that are too

large is more than the damage that comes from taking the drug.

Thanks, .

I know and understand that diet and supplements aren’t just a

small piece of my life. Even when I

am not withdrawing from a SSRI if I don’t eat right and take care of

myself I go a little south of the sanity line. I’m back on track now, have

been all week. Liquid multi that I

took for years (but went off due to expense) is on its way. Fish oil and goatein are here and being

ingested daily. My salad is in

front of me every day at lunch now and my daily smoothy is green (makes my dh make

faces, but its an extra serving of greens for me). I’ve come to realize this week

something that I’ve realized many times before but somehow keep

forgetting…..taking care of me is a life long project, not something that

can be let go in times of stress.

I am grateful for this list. Without it I’m sure I’d be

on a multitude of other drugs treating me for my withdrawal symptoms and my poor

diet choices.

Happy New Year!

Angel
