Hello,
I Just need to write right now-mainly to get all the negative emotions out before I start my annoying day.  I am in the process of slowly tapering off Zoloft. I have been through SSRI withdrawal many, many, many times and even though I am going through this hell right now my DBT skills are helping. I know what I am feeling is withdrawal-not relapse. I am doing the tapering quite slowly so the main symptoms are dizziness, fatigue, digestive issues and moodiness. Though I know it's withdrawal it feels like a relapse as I go through it. I have thought about just cutting it down as the tapering seems to just be making it all linger-but I know it will probably make it worse and I just can't do it given the type of job I have. I am an Employment Counsellor, so I have to be on my game. I have to listen to people's problems and help find solutions for them. I have to be empathetic and caring (which I am) but I also have to deal with a tonne of government bureaucratic BS that just frustrates me. There is one aspect of my job that I have to bust my *** like crazy for and get no credit for it. It is a huge administrative nightmare that takes me away from actually helping people get jobs and it angers me-but there is nothing I can do about (seriously...nothing we've tried-we aren't unionized like most government employees so we're screwed). I am so irritated and angry. It's like my ADHD symptoms come out full force now too, even though I am still taking my ADHD meds. Thank goodness I am Canadian and it's our national holiday tomorrow so I at least get one day to relax away from this crap. It's hard to remain positive when you physically feel like crap. I am so tired and dizzy. Sometimes my head feels like it's detached from my body.  Anyway, I just needed to vent. Thank you for listening  Misfit |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
