Re: Can zoloft withdrawal mimic pregnancy?
Hi, when I last came off sertraline - I kind of started cutting down accidently (kept missing pills) then decided to wean off - I did have some similar symptoms to you -
loss of appetite - could hardly eat, lost weight (good in my opinion!)
felt nausea every day
heavy, aching boobs
bad taste in my mouth
tired
'loose' stool most days
hearburn/acid
can't really comment on the periods as I have had a hysterectomy - kept ovaries though so have definite cycles and I did seem to have more spotting at that time...
I also had blood tests because I felt that I had a hormonal imbalance, all came back within normal range. My gp suggested the sore boobs could be from taking motilium (anti-emetic) but I already had sore boobs before I started taking it regularly.
I developed migraine associated vertigo about 6 months after my last sertraline, I never considered that it could be related though. I've just put it all down to changing hormones. I'm wondering now if the change in brain chemistry from coming off sertraline could have had a direct effect on hormone balance?
I have never taken the other meds you mention, so I can't comment on those. I only know that I haven't really been 'right' for a while, so have started sertraline again (today is day 5).
Hope you start to feel some relief soon x
