I feel so sick today. It's that I feel like I'm gonna puke sensation, but it then it never happens.
It could be the lack of drugs. I've been Zoloft free for a week now, birth control and sleeping pill free for a while now too. My scripts ran out and I haven't made an appointment to go the the MD yet. I do this about once a year and figure I will try going without meds and decide I don't want to be without because the negativity is too intense, so I eventually go back on them.
I've gone off Zoloft before and the withdrawal has a harsh effect, although this time isn't as bad as the others. I really haven't felt up to writing lately, but I need to document my symptoms.
I am a supporter of anti-depressants for the most part. I love that they can turn a persons life in the right direction. But, it is quite scary to think that people are ingesting man-made chemical cocktails. Withdrawal is a bitch, at least for me, and from what I've read bad for many others as well. When I go off the meds I am worse off than when I was a SSRI virgin.
here are some the the effects on me:
Violent dreams,
severe depression,
irritability,
frequent crying, over anything!!
upset stomach,
hot and cold flashes,
jitters,
nerve twitches(very mild though)
skin has a strange sensation,
lack of concentration!
