In reply to Redirect: withdrawal symptoms coming off zoloft, posted by Dr. Bob on March 27, 2006, at 7:59:53
I recently came off of Zoloft after being on it for 8yrs at 50mg. I tapered off it very slowly with direction from my GP. It's been almost 3 weeks now that I have been off completely and I'm still going through the withdrawal symptoms. My double whammy is that I am also pregnant and went through both pregnancy and withdrawal symptoms. If I stayed on the Zoloft, I was having worse pregnancy nausea and vomiting. Being off them has subsided the vomiting, but nausea is still there. I am now 14weeks pregnant and the worst symptom is the dizziness and "buzzing" in my head. I feel like I'm having a migraine without the headache, all day, everday and it makes me scared of driving. I feel okay when I'm sleeping, but when I wake up, it starts all over again. Especially when I'm woken up suddenly - it hits sharply.
Please help. How can I get over this, and how long is this supposed to last? My GP says, a couple of weeks. Well, a couple weeks have past. I hate this feeling, I hate the constant "brain zapps", blurred vision and "sick feeling"! I feel dysfunctional, and I KNOW it's NOT a recurrence of the depression!!
HELP!!
