MY DOCTOR HAD ME ON ZOLOFT FOR 11YRS AND GAVE ME TWO WEEKS TO WEAN MYSELF OFF, AND HE PUT ME ON LEXAPRO AND I HAD REAL BACK SIDE EFFECTS FROM THAT SO HE TOOK ME COLD TURKEY, I HAVE WENT THROUGH HORRIBLE WITHDRAWS AND NOW BACK ON ZOLOFT FOR A MONTH NOW 100mg BUT WHERE I WASNT ON ANYTHING FOR THREE WEEKS IT THROUGH ALL MY LEVELS OFF, I'M STILL A LITTLE SHAKY AT TIMES BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M HERE AGAIN AS BEFORE FELT NOTHING. I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET YOUR LEVELS BACK ON TRACK, HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN THROUGH THIS.

things should be OK soon but the zoloft dose may need to be upped a bit

Patients I guess is the key, but since the medicine change and trying to get back on track, my panic attacks have come more and if I up my dosage the worse I feel, I'm comfortable with 100 to 125mg but If I go up to 150mg I feel sick, I have read several of these and trust me when I say, They have helped, and I guess we are on the road to recovery because we are all here sharing our experience, and the Theropy of it is that we can Help one another and we our not Alone, and I like everyone else just wants to be normal again!! And God Bless Everyone, and I have notice over the pass few days that some skin sensation is coming back (i can feel headaches now), cause I guess for me not feeling anything (numbness) was scarry, I just didnt feel like I was in my body when going through the withdraws, I just know that for myself the more I talk about it and the more people respond the better I feel, because you do feel like your alone.

a typical zoloft dose range is 50 to 200, I dont know what you were on before
it helps to get a pillcutter and a pillshaver from a pharmacy, this way you can very gradually up the dose assuming of course, its not a capsule
