| 1 | Depression | Last entry: I have been off Zoloft for more than ten years. The anxiety (inability to sit or lay still) and insomnia I started to experience shortly after starting the medication never went away; every doctor I complained about the side-effects to insisted Zoloft should treat that and would try to up to my dosage, as far as 200 MG. After a good doctor finally took me off citing the possibility of seizure if I continued to take it, it took years, and my near being suicidal and checking myself into the hospital several times before a suitable treatment was found. I had doctors actually recommend I start with Zoloft again. I was appalled. When I moved to Spain in '07, I went to see a physician and explained what my symptoms were and the first thing she asked, knowing I was American, was if I had ever taken an SSRI. I said yes, how much, which one, for how long and when. She said nothing more and started me on a benzodiazapine regimen that I'm still on to this day, six years later. I take alprazolam, 2 MG three times a day now. Otherwise the feeling of nails on a chalkboard, and general anxiety and the insomnia come back almost immediately. | M | 39 | 100 MG 1X D | 4/10/2014 | ||
