In reply to Re: Zoloft Withdrawal and Insomnia - HELP!, posted by dvskitten on October 7, 2009, at 11:14:35
I went through the same thing, Zoloft was a very harsh withdrawal for me too. I just had to put my seatbelt on and ride it out. Sedating anti-histamines helped a little, I found phenergan 10mg a little better than benadryl.
I also found that after the initial month of hell, brain zaps etc, were over, it still took another 1-2 months for the insomnia to settle down, but I've always had it so that one is hard to gauge.
Have you tried melatonin? I can't get it here, I have some friends in the states that swear by it. I'd love to try that someday.
Good luck and know that you're not alone. Peace C
