Luisa hope you are feeling better today.
Yesterday I tried without my 12.5mg. I was busy the whole day so did not think about it but when I went to bed I felt a bit nervous with shallow breathing. So today I am taking 12.5mg. If I feel good today I will skip the dose tomorrow and try to take the med alternate day.
Sometimes I think it is ridiculous it is like I can't let go of the med. I have been taking 12.5 for 3 weeks while I was supposed to be 1 week to 10 days at 12.5 then stop.

Luisa, I was feeling phenomenal for the last 2 weeks and I am feeling down now for the last 2 days. I have been on the medication for 6 weeks now, soooo I hope it is just normal and not a sign that they are not working....

So yesterday I took 12.5mg and was OK. Still more nervous than when I was taking 25mg but still very manageable. So today I will skip the dose. I really want to be medecine free by the end of the year but there is still a side of me who does not want to let it go (by fear of feeling bad again)
I am thinking of taking 5-htp when I finish with Zoloft. Anybody has tried ?

Tks Mr Andy. How long did you take it for ? I was reading that it takes 2 weeks to 1 month to see the effects. Did you take 50 or 100mg ?

i had with no problems ,but after talking to my counsellor she thinks i would benefit from a low dose.To be honest I have been struggling the last few weeks

That's what I am afraid of after I stop.
Wish you will feel better shortly
