So I have been going off zoloft, doing the taper. Started to not feel well so I sent this to my pdoc
As we had talked I stopped taking zoloft, tapered down from 100 to 50 mg and this is where I am now. Stopped taking 50 mg zoloft on the 21st of November. Few days in had headaches, dizzy, foggy,upset stomach and gastro upset , off balance, overall did not feel well. Re-started zoloft at 25mg , started feeling better few days later. Than I went down to 12.5 mg for 7 days. Stopped on December 3rd, felt fine for a few days. Now I feel dizzy, foggy, off balance, upset stomach and gastro upset. Currently taking no zoloft. Is it related to Zoloft withdrawal? Have read a few articles and just wondering? What it is making me feel the way I am? I do not enjoy the feeling of wanting to pass out, or is it something else?

Than I get this response from him-
Great! Hope it is going well. How is your mood these days?

WTF-great, its not great. I feel like crap, I feel messed up. Did he not read it right or just skim it. Over the last few months he has seemed to be out of it. Maybe he is doing his own drugs. I have never had this feeling before.
I am so agitated right now, and I am not enjoying the feeling. I want to punch something.
Should I write back, writing is the best way to communicate with his office. What do I say, how do I not blow up in it. ugh ugh ugh.

Firstly, I want to tell you I think you did a great job of explaining your experiences, with dosages and all.

There must be some misunderstanding?

I would write and tell him there must be some misunderstanding. I'd reiterate what I've said, maybe placing more emphasis on which things are not great.

I think this can be cleared up with kindness.

I am sorry he was not more attentive in the beginning. I do think he'll come through for you, once the error is addressed.
