Life without Sertraline
January 3, 2008 by Anna Aniston
Several days without sertraline (aka Zoloft). My last one was the 26th December. At first, I didn’t notice any changes and started to think I’d be OK without it for a while longer. The reason I am going without is that I ran out of pills and my pdoc is away right now. I don’t know HOW I ran out of pills. I have so many prescriptions for zoloft that it isn’t really funny. But I manage to loose them all. I found one at the beginning of the month, but it turned out to be the last repeat.
I have noticed a few things since being off the zoloft
-
My sleeping patterns are awful. I can’t sleep at night, and I can’t get up in the morning
-
I fight with everyone. Every little thing upsets me.
-
The Seroquel puts me straight to sleep, and its hard to stay awake at work without drinking a litre of coffee (exacerbating the first point)
-
My mind wanders a lot
-
I find myself acting without any regard for known consequences of my actions and without reserve even though I recognise them
-
My dreams are getting more real, and my reality is getting more dream like
