Hello everyone,

I’m still tapering off Zoloft. I have a few more days. This stuff really upsets my stomach. I’ve been sick all day. I’m never taking Zoloft again after I’m completely off.

I’m finally off Zoloft and now I’m having withdrawal side effects. I called my pharmacy...told them what was going on. The pharmacist looked it up and confirmed it was side effects from coming off Zoloft. It said it usually last up to 14 days. I did take my two other meds today.

I am in full compliance. I’m having a little trouble tracking everything I need to say when I give a talk. It’s concerning me a bit.

I have a problem. I was put on geodon yesterday and I'm supposed to take it in the morning and at night. I have to eat with it but the thought of eating in the morning repulses me. I've been up for 3 hours and I still haven't taken my morning dose. I think I might have to take it all at supper time.

I forgot to take my Coumadin (blood thinner you have to get blood checks for) for over a week. I have no idea how long except I realized it in the middle of the night. I had zero cumadin in my bloodstream. So in a week I'm going on eloquis in a week. I can get it added to my blister packs.

The dose really needs split , I am new to Geodon also , I have to force myself to eat , sucks..... but without roughly 350 calories it doesn’t work nearly like it should.

Ate leftovers and took my meds. I know taking meds are not fun...just necessary for some of us.

I took them as soon as I woke up. I’m afraid when I go back to work I will forget my morning dose as I am pretty rushed in the morning. But that’s not for another two weeks so it’s ok.

I took my meds last night. I’m back on Zoloft 50mg. I’m going to do a longer taper. My pdoc had me come Zoloft too fast and I was having withdrawal symptoms. It was terrible.

Hello there....my problem is I sometime ignore my phone. I’ll dismiss the alarm or snooze it. I’ll be in the middle of a fav show and not want to pause it.
I’m trying to get better.
