hi howie..read one of the posts here and noticed you said you were significantly helped by zoloft. what were your symptoms that were cleared up by this:? i was given it but have yet to take it. my main symptom is the off feeling, dizziness (but no room spinning) and anxiety comes with all of this. can't go into stores unless it's in the am..for some reason, i don't have such symptoms in the am (for the most part).

i'm hoping i have the success that you've had with the zoloft. what were the side effects that had on zoloft and that were helped by the other drug you mentioned. i've been taking xanax off and on when i really feel off. seems to help but can't tell if it does completely.

thanks and hope to hear from you.

btw..have been dealing with this since sept. 05 :confused:

Box Girl:

I had several symptoms for over a year till I started Zoloft.. I had an off feeling no true spining 24/7, blurred vision, severe anxiety, insomnia, shakey feeling, chronic mild nauseas. I am on a mild amount of Zoloft 50mg's for over a year. I am pretty much Normal. I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines. I took a mild amount of Klonopin as well. Currently I am on Verapamil and Zoloft. I really did not get much side effects from Zoloft. Everyone is different. I had a horrible reaction on Paxil, lexapro, serzone. See how it goes. I am having some mild side effects with the Verapamil as it has increased urination but I will see if this goes away in time.

Good Luck,

Howie

thanks so much for your response. were these symptoms on a daily basis?

wish me luck! :wave:

Hi Howie,

Do you think you'll think about coming off the Zoloft soon? Wondering what your "detox" plan is. I'm still on 3/4 Cipramil and while I am feeling much better (80%), I'm still not right, no doubt because of the huge pressure on me at the moment to finish my work. My sleep is not peaceful which says it all really. And I get small bits of disorientation here and there at the PC but nothing major. I cannot see any reason for not returning to the high 90s again next month.

Later.....Scott

Yes they were 24/7.....

Scott:

I am not sure when I will ween off. I am on a mild amount so
I will wait for the doctors to say come off. Eventually but not in my immediate plans... Mine is more like a migraine preventative so I might need it every day but the doctor did say eventually.......


You will get back in the 90's as you have a plan and know what your doing ...Try some relaxation methods to help you sleep better. Meditation, music.....

Good luck to both of you

Howie
