I'm definitely going back on antidepressants

Post Reply New Topic

I thought I didn't need Zoloft anymore. I don't know why I thought that, that was a silly thing to think. I started weening myself on July 18th and I had my last dose on August 4th; I think it's been long enough by now to know if I'm fine without it.

I'm not fine without it, I just keep thinking I should be fine without it. I'm realizing now that without it, I just self-medicate more, which costs me more and doesn't help as much.

I ultimately hope to go completely drug free, but my panic and depression are making it impossible for me to find work now.

I'm getting off the drugs I self-medicate with, though. I really can't justify the expense, and I'd like to be healthy plzkthx

I've been in the very same place. I'm not thrilled about being tied to medication, but I decided it was much better than how miserable I was off of it. Good luck to you...

It?s probably a good thing to do, especially when you?re on your own and if they worked well for you before... I dislike having to take tablets to function better, but my current alternatives are to barely exist, not living life.

Thanks for the support.

I can't see anyone before the 1st... I wish I could get back on them today.

Please find a good doctor and explore all types of medication.

As far as seeing someone perhaps before the 1st, I think a fair number of internists and family practitioners feel comfortable prescribing an antidepressant, especially since you've done Zoloft before with good results. And then maybe you could bump the existing appointment later, so you saw him or her after you'd already been taking it for four to eight weeks.

And a back-up plan, if things get bad, is to just go to the emergency room.

Unfortunately, I have to wait until the first because that is when my insurance kicks in.
