18AM - My Zoloft withdrawl

I want to talk about my Zoloft withdrawl today.  I don't want people thinking they're alone when they experience these crazy and scary side effects.

     - I couldn't sleep
     - Nightmares
     - Tingly skin
     - Nausea
     - Felt like I had a fever
     - Felt numb to everything
     - Increased my anxiety

I know there is more, but I lost the paper where I wrote down my side effects as it happened.  But I just want you guys to know you're not alone, I experienced this too.  I don't recommend drugs at all.  I actually think Zoloft really kicked off my depersonalization because before it, it seemed like I would have a few episodes and it would go away, but after I took the drug, it seemed my DP really took hold of me.  These new SSRI drugs seem to be getting a ton of bad reviews, I'm here to add to that list.  There's something not quite right bout them.  Fight your anxiety and depression on your own, it'll be harder, but you'll actually cure yourself, rather than just cover up the problem.  The doctors / pharmaceutical companies just want you to be dependent.  But it is absolutely possible to recover on your own, without drugs... it just takes longer - but trust me -IT IS WORTH IT!!!
