Zoloft Withdrawal and Lithium

I started taking paxil and then zoloft 5 and a half years ago when I got sober.

I was also put on lithium. the lithium works well.

my psych put me on paxil cause I started hating myself and everything, something I hadn't felt since my active adiction.

She calls those thoughts depression?

Probably just for a diagnosis.

Whatever you call it, the stuff was a miracle. It made me feel completely ok with my self. the side effects were nasty, so we switched to zoloft. same side effect. It would turn my insides into liquid about 2 hours after I took it. I didn't say anything for a long time because I was afriad of the outcome. I geuss I finally had enough and I told her.

She immediately began to take me off, over about three weeks.

the hate is back in full force. can SOMEBODY tell me why? I realize how important it is for me to think positively.

The worse part about all this is I don't even want to ask for help. all this thinking makes me confused. It feels like there's such a resistance in me to do the next right thing.

Does my brain need to adjust to not having the zoloft. It took my body about a year to "adjust" to not having any opiates or alcohol etc. but i did change.

Anyway, i feel better.
