I was on Zoloft for about 2 years. Decided to stop by weaning off as recommended from my prescribed 150 mg dose (I am a larger guy but not overweight). That was six weeks ago and things have been relatively fine since then.

The past few days, I’ve never had anxiety and OCD this severe. I have great insecurities and there are some things I see out in public that set it off and are hard/unwise to completely avoid. I am very edgy and by mid way through the day I’m insanely exhausted from my brain being on overdrive while attempting to focus on work. I’m not hearing voices, but I feel threatened (both emotionally and even psychically) by irrational things. I’m extraordinarily edgy and want to be alone but also can’t bear to be with my own thoughts. One minute I’m on top of the world and feel invincible and the next I’m barely functioning and this can happen multiple times a day.

Does this sound like something Zoloft is really meant for? Maybe it helped a little bit, but I’m being absolutely destroyed by this and think I might need something else.
