Strange head sensations, AKA "brain zaps", which is like an electrical current that you can actually see for a split second as it shoots thru your poor unsuspecting brain. Yucky nausea sensation, regardless if you eat or not, kind of like your seasick with a feeling of labored breathing. Just an uncomfortable malaise feeling from head to toe. Trouble sleeping, or not sleeping as sound as when you were taking the drug. Body aches from head to toe. Weird, vivid, violent dreams so scary they wake you up, and then you wonder to yourself, "what the heck was that?" as your trying to catch your breath and come to your senses. A feeling of "this is all hopeless" and starting, or wanting to tear up. Symptoms usually starts within 24 hours or sooner if you stop your dosage cold turkey. Not as bad if trying to taper off slowly, however you may still feel strange at times. Apparently these are signs you really do need the drug...?
Geez, I told my doctor about my crazy Zoloft withdrawal symptoms while trying to go off of it, and she calmly in a condesending way without looking at me asks, "why go off of it?".
Since I feel fine while on it, and it did help me, I've decided I'm a lifer; can't do those freaky withdrawals NO MORE dude...!

Get the ZOLLOS mug.An SSRI , Antidepressant used to treat depression and or anxiety. Takes awhile to start kicking in if you have a panic disorder don't expect not to have a panic attack right away but if you wait about 2 or 3 weeks they will go away . you will still experiance some anxiety but after about 4-6 weeks when the levels are consistent in your brain you will feel very well. Although SSRIs are known to dull you out making u feel little of any emotion. IF you start feeling dull talk to your doctor about evening out your dose so you still get rid of the anxiety components but some of the dullness goes away. The dullness is caused because it gets rid of anxiety and chills you out.
I've been on zoloft for about 4 months and am feeling great. Although I have wierd elated happiness to depression mood swings but i think that is a result of being a teenager. I recommend this medication to people with anxiety. And if you smoke , drink, or anything else quit that and get a good night sleep once in awhile. But zoloft is what i think saved my life. Because i was hopeless at one point that i would never get out of my deep state of worrying.
