Hi everyone! I am so glad to have found this site and to have started reading all of the much-needed information regarding Zoloft withdrawal. I quit cold turkey for the 2nd time about 2 months ago. The first time I couldn't deal with it so I started up again. I went off of it for 2 reasons. Firstly (and in no particular order) I am without insurance due to starting my own business and when I ran out of my Zoloft, I thought hey, it's so expensive why not give it a try. The 2nd reason, and more importantly, is the sexual side effects, or I should say, lack of and being tired of not being able to orgasm after 4 years.
The first 3 weeks or so were incredible! No side effects, and now I realize the zoloft was still in my system. I have gradually become so irritated & emotional that I have threatened to kill anything in my path (just a metaphor). Today was the final straw. As I'm threatening to pack my suitcase and take off for a few days because my family doesn't care, I hear my 14 year old crying hysterically in the next room. My 16 year old gave me the look that doesn't even need an explanation. My husband stormed out the door, at which point I proceeded to lock myself in my bedroom. We finally all calmed down, had a family talk, and I FINALLY decided to do some research into the withdrawal symptoms of this drug. All I can say at this point is THANK YOU ALL. Just reading some of your posts gives me a whole new perspective, and knowing that I'm not completely loosing it is a huge help. I am so looking forward to your support and information for my family so we can all get through this together!
