What was the reason for your doctor prescribing zoloft to you in the first place? Kind of sounds to me like you were either a) not assessed properly to begin with or
b) having a really bad week when you went to the doctor for help.
Of course you may be an odd case in the sense that your brain chemicals only needed fine tuning, and the zoloft stimulated the brain chemistry to kick in again and thus you no longer needed it.
In any event, the medhelp. response is a good one and cover's pretty much everything I would have said: Don't take meds. lightly. If they are not helping, they are not needed.
Now get out there and live your life, and don't forget to stop and smell the roses whenever you get the chance.
Actually, I went and bought a multi-omega pill from hi-health. It has Omega-3, 6, and 9 in one capsule. Took my first couple at dinner today along with a new multi-vitamen. I'm going to start trying to eat a bit more healthy.
Is it possible to find out what the other one is? I know omega 3 is a fatty acid, but I really couldn't find anything on an "omega 8". I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
Yeah I signed up for school today. I now want to do everything like I came out of a coma.
News flash - A friend of ours was desparate to get off her meds and found that omega 3 and I think 8 helped her alot. I'm trying them. Studies show it affects the brain in alot of healty ways.
Yeah, I started to think zoloft is what caused that with me too. Suddenly, all the stuff that I knew was bad for me I had a, "screw it" type attitude. I just didn't care at all.
Concentrate on the talk therapy that helps you make the best decisions, and carry them out, so you can keep your life moving forward, and building and enjoying. Evolution gave you a brain capable of perspective and problem solving, use it, and drugs won't be necessary.
