Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hi, I am new to this group. I would like to compare SSRI withdrawal symptoms with others experiences. Please excuse me if parts of this post don't make sense I am having a very hard time. I was on 200mg of zoloft for 9 years, I spent 6 months tapering off it, and have been clean of it for one month. Its so hard, i'm sure most of you can relate. I have issues with paranoia, psychosis, rapid mood swings, violent thoughts, harming myself, and recently attempted suicide. I went to see a doctor after that and all he wanted to do was put me on another SSRI, a " new and improved " one. What I am going through now is not depression, not the depression I remember anyway. I have depression issues most days but they are so much easier to deal with than the other symptoms. When I attempted suicide, I can remember that I didn't want to die, i just didn't want to " be " anymore. I can't think clearly. My boyfriend said the other day that I seemed to be doing better, but I am only learning to hide the symptoms better, keep them under control. I am feeling worse. Does anyone else who is going through withdrawals have these type of symptoms? I went through the tingley, numb, floaty, dizzy feelings earlier, when I would miss a couple of doses. What can I do to lessen these feelings? I feel like I am not even really here, everything seems like its a dream or a test, everyone is trying to trick me, please anyone who can give me some advice , I really need it. I really need to talk to someone who is going through this, which is why I joined this group. My name is , I go by Jinx, or you can call me spiders( thats an old screen name, I wasn't trying to be funny about this) Thanks for reading this and good luck to everyone.
