"I decided to go off of zoloft...."

I had discovered a homeopathic antidepressent called Deprex which has, among other ingredients, St. John's wort.

I started the Deprex, and cut my zoloft in half to "taper" myself off. I only did this because I am a nurse, and common sense told me not to "cold turkey" it.

My doctor who put me on zoloft 3 years ago for PMDD never told me anything about withdrawal from zoloft if I ever decide to discontinue.

Mentally, I actually felt better with the half dose of zoloft at taking the Deprex than I had with a full dose of zoloft, so I thought "this is great!".

Then started the wierd symptoms. Sudden nausea that lasted less than a minute, extreme dizzyness lasting about 5 seconds, piercing head pain lasting a couple of moments.

I thought maybe I was pregnant, because my period also was about 3 weeks late! Needless to say, I was not pregnant. After a week or so of those symptoms, I was helping my mom after surgery, and noticed that I was increasingly clumsy. One day as I was helping her in to the car, I looked down toward my feet and saw an orange "tracer" when I moved my foot! What the heck!?!?

At that point I looked up on the internet "zoloft withdrawal". Bingo! I was having all of the symptoms, and I had only cut my dose in half! Now I'm scared to cut it even more, but I know I have to.

I swear, I never would have taken zoloft in the first place if I had known getting off of it would be so bad, but it reinforces my desire to rid my body of this med!!!!
