I want to get off Zoloft?


Question:
Is there anything natural that I could take to help?

Answers:
I went to college with a girl who started taking anti-depressants for depression in our second year. Within 3 months, her doctor prescribed her Paxil, then Celexa, then Zoloft. While she was taking Paxil, she was like a zombie, sleeping all the time and not doing anything productive. She would fall asleep in class and nothing could wake her up. When taking Celexa, she became extremely aggressive with people and even tried to stab her boyfriend. Zoloft made her manic and landed her in the hospital (after she threw a pot of coffee in a stranger's face). She spent the next 6 weeks in psychiatric care (involuntarily) and was diagnosed as manic depressive (or bipolar). Then she took a high dose of Lithium for the next year.

She now has a great boyfriend and a new baby girl and has no plans of taking anti-depressant meds again. She follows a strict diet (no sugars, flours, caffeine, chocolate, dairy, eggs, or soy), exercises regularly, and takes vitamin supplements every day. I have never seen her so happy. She still sees her therapist every 6 months (or when needed).

If you think Zoloft is not the best thing for you, then you should try and do something about it. You should make that decision for yourself and forget about everyone else's opinion.

Always keep your options open and best of luck to you.
