Can you explain how you felt coming off of Zoloft (or similar drugs)?

Asked by DrasticDreamer (23996points) May 28th, 2016

Some of you know I’ve been in the process of trying to find the right dose of meds to regulate my TSH levels. In the beginning, my doctor suggested that my anxiety might be related to my thyroid being out of whack, but asked if I wanted to take anxiety meds in the meantime. A few days ago I informed my doctor that I wanted to give the anxiety meds a break (I’ve been on them for about a year) to see whether or not the thyroid meds were helping with my anxiety.

A few days in and I’m finding it hard not to get teary-eyed about a lot of things that I feel I otherwise wouldn’t have. Is this normal? Is it just my brain getting used to not having Zoloft now? I was only taking 25mg daily, which I guess is considered really low, but I still feel like it’s quite the adjustment.

So, I wanted personal stories, if anyone felt like sharing with me?
