In reply to zoloft withdrawl hell, posted by daisy4 on February 19, 2006, at 20:37:30
In my opinion, you discontinued Zoloft too rapidly. With the exception of Prozac, you should never skip days of dosing. You would have been better off lowering the dosage by 10% every few days by taking very small doses several times a day.
Now that you have discontinued the drug, I doubt you will want to go back on it and perform a slower taper. The Prozac suggestion is a good one if you feel the withdrawal symptoms are intolerable. I believe the stress of withdrawal will have a negative impact on your developing child. You could possibly use Benadryl or Phernergan to reduce the intensity of the withdrawal symptoms. A course of treatment with Phenergan, might be best, as it would also address the morning sickness.
Let us know what you decide and how you are doing.
