I’ve (30f) been taking Zoloft for almost two years- it has been amazing in the sense that I kept going to the ER several times a week truly thinking I was dying. I was dx panic disorder and went on Zoloft. It helped TREMENDOUSLY with my anxiety, me thinking I was always dying and just gave me that little pep I guess. I stopped worrying about dying every 5 seconds. I took it right for the majority of the time but the last month or so I’ve been really inconsistent. 

For a sleep study I have to do, they want me off all of my meds for 3 weeks for a sleep study to be “purists”. I’m also on midodrine for my POTS, but I absolutely can’t and won’t get off of that. It’s my lifeline currently. Since I’ve been off the Zoloft completely for the last 9 days (I stupidly went cold turkey because I’ve been so busy I hadn’t thought about taking it) and I’m in *so* much pain. I’ve had headaches, anxiety is rearing it’s ugly head back. I’m in constant body pain, moreso after I stopped. 

Today I had such unbearable stomach pain in target that I kind of dissociated in the middle of the aisle. I didn’t know where I was or how to get out, I was just trying to breathe through the pain- I didn’t remember the last 5 min. I just booked it and left. I was wearing kind of tight high waisted leggings. I got a severe pain above my belly button, nothing has ever been found but this occurrence was the worst. I wasn’t able to say “did you know it’s cinco de Mayo” but I heard myself say something out loud that didn’t make sense with what I thought I was saying. I felt SO weird, like spaced out thinking I was dying. 

Anyways it’s gone now, that was a few hours ago. Anyone get this with going off zoloft cold Turkey?
