I just wanted to update everyone, b/c I know many other cysters have been through the same thing or are goin' through the same thing. GOOD LUCK to all! I'll let ya know how the zoloft works! |
You aren't alone, I felt the same way when I got off (rage, crying etc). Like I said if you can, try and excerise and it will help you feel better. You may want to look in to some councelling. I didn't go right away but I should because being off the meds can make you feel like a different person.
Remember, the meds are crutches for feelings so look in to it.
