Reply To: Is every other Woman on Zoloft?

oh, did I mention that when I called the psychiatrist and mentioned all of the above side effects of going off of zoloft she denied it! I think thats what bothers me the most. Its like if there are facts not researched and documented the way they like then it doesn’t exist. She said that its only if it were discontinued cold turkey. But its a bunch of baloney. Google it and see how many websites there are comments from people who have either gradually stopped using, by reducing the dose over time, and yet still have had the effects. These are the words coming from the users’ mouths. Not a text book theorist.

And not from the companies and professionals’ mouths, who are out to make money off of it.

For example, a few people mentioned in their comments how despite having been off of it for 3 months or more they still are having their limbs flinch spontaneously every once in a while. Other disturbing reports I read were that one could no longer experience emotions of sadness or crying, even when it would have been appropriate. He called it feeling like a zombie.

In other words, people who might take this, may not otherwise EVEN TRY to start taking this IF THEY WERE fully aware of these dangers.

I thank Hashem in HIS kindness and goodness that HE led me to this information in order to help me help myself find a less dangerous way to do so! And the purpose of this thread is to enlighten anyone thinking of starting anti depressants. See if there is another way you can go first.
