Stoping Medication

[amy806]

I stoped taking all my prescripted meds, like seroquel and zoloft and now I feel like I am going to die.

Your posting frightens me because anyone going cold-turkey with some of the medication you are on is bound to have some severe side affects.  I work in the Emergency Department - and I've seen it all (at least I think I have).  I'm fearful that you're going to experience a racing heart or shortness of breath - or worse.  Please call your physician (I don't care how late it is - he/she NEEDS to know you're starting a withdrawal process) and pass along ALL your medication dosages and that you are going Cold Turkey.  You are so very young and have the REST of your life to live - please don't jeopardize yourself right now...
Sending you positive thoughts...and encouragement.

honey you cannot just quit those medications without direction. my daughter did this very thing last week. she did not even tell me and i am a nurse and her mother. she did not have the money to refill and did not want to burden anyone and we are still having problems. please do as avis said restart your medications now until you have a chance to speak with your physician. please tell me how you are feeling. i know you said you feel like you want to die, but could you be a little more specific. are you hurting? i know you probably feel very depressed and that would be expected with coming off these medications. can you talk about it?

Hold your horses! Talk to your Dr. Please!
Any anti-depressant needs to be taken off in a supervised manor. Do not put yourself at risk.
Call NOW. Ask for the nurse if the Dr isn't available.
OK?

PLZ do back on your meds you should not go off without the ok of your doctor he can make you a taper schedule . good luck

Did you stop them cold turkey? Without a doctor? If so, that is very dangerous. You need to inform your doctor and let him work with you.

I hope you will make an appointment to speak with him/her.

Take care.
