Klonopin and Zoloft addiction

[Jenelsue]

I began taking Klonopin and Zoloft about 15 years ago when my father was dying.  I also had a stalker at the same time, so I put my trust in a psychiatrist who said these drugs were safe.  I have had an anxiety disorder since I was 19, so I am very familiar with drug withdrawal having been on 4mg of Xanax daily for a few years in my early twenties.   I have brain zaps when I am late on the Zoloft and sometimes just during a normal day with my meds.  I take them at night.  I am 54 now and am finding myself losing memory and feeling dead inside.  It's not that I'm depressed.  I just feel nothing.  When I talked to my family doc about stopping the drugs he said because I am on a maintenance dose, I should just stay on them to avoid the horrible detox and potential seizures.  I am tired of feeling stuck here because I'm an addict.  Any advice would be appreciated.

If you are taking them as prescribed than there is no real cause for concern.  Zoloft is not a narcotic so don't worry about that.  It is a necessary anti-depressant.
