Withdrawal Help
This is my first ever reddit post. It’s the weekend so I’m hoping to get some suggestions from other experienced Zoloft people.
I’ve been on Zoloft for 10+ years, had been on 200mg for most of that time. Recently switching over to Wellbutrin because Zoloft essentially stopped being effective (all under supervision of psychiatrist and primary doctor). Each week I had tapered off by 50mg. This is my first week entirely off of the medication. I did not start experiencing withdrawal symptoms until day 4 (confusion, feeling unstable/dizzy, flu-like aches, nausea, and irritability). My psychiatrist had previously told me if I started having these symptoms, I could return to taking my 50 mg dosage. So that is what I did yesterday (day 5). I’m feeling only a little better today, however I have been in bed all day at this point. Will not be able to contact my psychiatrist or primary doctor until Monday morning.
My main question is: how long until these symptoms go away after restarting the Zoloft? It’s impacting my ability to do anything besides lay in bed and I am concerned about missing more work. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
