Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to find out people's experience on Zoloft while taking it and during withdrawal. I am tapering off Zoloft now as it appears I have an ssri intolerance.

I was on brintellix prior which left me with some crazy withdrawal symptoms. I am still dealing with the waves. Unfortunatelly I had to quit Brintrellix cold turkey.

I started on Zoloft 25 mg for 7 days, increased it to 50 mg after 7 days and 75 mg at 7 days.

When I went up to 75 mg on zoloft I experienced almost a manic state:

Lots of energy like I needed to get out of my skin
Talking fast
Hand tremors
Body jerking
Limb jerking
Increase in twitching which seems I inherited from the first withdrawal
Muscle and Joint pain, muscle tremors
Body shakes that came and went as if I had too much coffee

I am now at 25 mg still in waves of symptoms. Most of the one's I listed have majorly reduced but still present.

Just want to know what is normal during withdrawal?
