Re: SSRIs

Zoloft. Shit works thats for damn sure. I went to some pretty dark places and this allowed me to continue going on. Was on it for about a year then decided it was time for me to take control of my life and not be dependent on anything. Aside from the initial period, I felt like I had total control. First week or two it made me so tired, but I got some of the best sleep in my life.

What milligram were you on? Did you wean off? How has it been for you since coming off of it?

Doc said since I was bigger 50mg. That shit knocked me on my ass. All I wanted to do was sleep. I literately could not keep my eyes open. After talking to him about it he dropped me to 25mg for a few weeks to build up to 50mg. Smooth sailing.

I did not wean off and in fact didn't discuss it with my doctor. I just felt it was best for me. I've been great. 180 from where I was the previous year. A lot of it is also learning to control emotions and to take things in stride.

No weird side effects. I paid extra attention to how I was treating my wife and kids and it became the norm. Hopefully its all I need but I feel great even today.

Re: SSRIs

I have been on 25mg generic Zoloft(sertraline) for 6 months. It has literally helped me so much as I have suffered wth PTSD for years. I cannot believe how it has helped my anxiety too. I was very sleepy to at frst but that subsided. I do sleep better at night now too. I do not want to be on this to long but I think I may need too. For me it was not about controlling my moods or emotions. Thanks for sharing your experence.

Re: SSRIs

C'mon, I know there are many people out there that have used these or are using them. This is not a bad thing to admit as ,many people have a chemical imbalance. Looking to hear some experiences
