I posted in the depression forum that my therapist (who happens to be an NP so she does my meds) suddenly cut my refill for zoloft. I get two, then a T appointment. I went to the pharmacy today to pick it up because I forgot, and he told me that he isn't authorized. Which was freaking weird.

I emailed my T asking what's up, and she said she wants to try a new med with me and that we can talk about it at our next appointment. Problem is, I haven't had my zoloft in two days. It's already out of my system. And I have to wait till August 8th to see what the hell is going on.

I feel disgusting. Light headed. My ears are ringing. Fatigued. I keep getting pains in my head and neck. And soon I know I am going to fall into a depressive episode again. You're not meant to just STOP zoloft or any antidepressant. But ha ha I have no choice. My GP said he wont give me a refill because he doesn't deal with psychiatric medications.

Does anyone have tips on how to soothe some of these symptoms? I feel sick to my stomach. Headache/shooting pains in my head in neck, lethargy, loss of apatite. I feel like I have the flu.

You should go to the hospital and ask for zoloft you could end up with serotonin syndrome.

You should not stop an ad suddenly and your therapist should know this. Allowing you to not have refills enough to at least taper is putting you through unnecessary suffering and at risk. Stress to them that you need the refill. If you don't get a response, going to a hospital or immediate care center might be your best bet. If it comes to that, you might want to consider reporting your therapist because that is not how a professional should treat a patient.

never mind i realized you can't get serotonin syndrome only with combinations with other drugs.

Thank you everyone. I think in the morning I am going to go to a clinic and beg. I feel horrid. I am sore every where. My brain is fuzzy, I am dizzy. I couldn't even smile right when my mom and dad gave me my birthday gift early (I am pretending my birthday isn't happening). This is god damn terrible. I have never hated a therapist so much. 100mgs to nothing. Jesus.

There are some crazy medical staff in this world, cutting your med supply off just like that is criminal .

^ Pretty much, all but in law.

If you are really suffering, don't try to wait it out. Take care of yourself!!!!

Yeah, it's getting really bad. My whole body just aches and I keep getting these brain "zaps" that leave my ears ringing. I'll see what I can do. Right now I am just going to stay in bed and ignore the world.

WHATS on ad hoc

[sugahorse1]

I take it some nights. I was prescribed 100mg at night. Some nights I skip it.

I know - probably not wise, but I don't want to feel sedated or put on weight

Zoloft is not taken "ad hoc"...it needs to build up in your system to work. You could be messing yourself up pretty badly. You should decide to take it, or if not, go to your dr and ask for something else instead.
