I have Zoloft as well. Is it alright for me to stop taking Clonzepam for the 3rd day?

You should be doing good if you plan to miss your dose of the night since you have run out of your medicine. Try keeping your self busy and pray and go to sleep.

Yes! I had to call my Doctor and ask to be put on something else! I could not sleep and was crying about everything! Once I was off that stuff I was just fine! It's good that you are listening to your body because this medicine might be doing\nyou more harm then good even if it's just a few days.

Effexor is one of the hardest SSRI's to stop taking. You are probably still have some SSRI withdrawls. The withdrawls are sometimes so slight that you don't know that you are having them. I think it would be best if you called your local pharmacy for a question of this type. Also remember that it could take up to 6 months for something herbal to take effect.

Good for you, you must be feeling much better, :-).\n\nI hope you're going off it with your Dr.'s help though and haven't just decided on your own to stop taking it.  If you quit 'cold turkey' it can take several week's to start to feel better, but if your Dr. take's you off it, they will 'wean' you so that the withdrawal isn't so bad.\n\nThe Dr. will gradually lower your dose so that you don't feel much discomfort coming off of Celexa and that's the safest, easiest way for your body to adjust.  \nAll the best to you!

Kolonipen? or the gerneric name like I take is clonazepam 1 mg.\nIt is very addictive and doesn't work as fast as Ativan,but I believe it lasts longer and works better for anxiety and sleep.\nIv'e been taking them for ten years so if I go about 3 days without them mr.withdrawal comes knocking.Ambien is more just a sleep aid,I take those too 10mg. I take another what I believe is just a sleep aid called lunesta 3 mg it seems to work well.Once in awhile my doctor will throw me some Ativan,it works fast on me but doesn't last and he knows how much i like them,but if I could stop taking all the medications i need to stay alive i would.\nI hope the Ativan is just a short term thing for you and find a way to get the sleep you need. Good luck

is not a psychotropic drug, and while it is not addictive, there are ill effects that will  take place if you stop taking it suddenly, I know this from personal experience, it is a very unpleasant thing.  Go here- http://depression.about.com/cs/sertraline/f/zoloftaddictive.htm

When it comes to medicine you must remember, that not all bodies or body chemistry is the same.  What may work for me may not work for you and vica versa.  \n\nIf you are having a tough time with Zoloft, I strongly suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor again.  He or she may want to decrease the dosage or wean you off of it completely and try something else.\n\nHave you ever taken Cymbalta?  Talk with your doctor about it and see if your doctor could recommend it or not for you.  Doctors are not mind readers, they solely depend on their patients to tell them how they feel and what they experience with the drugs they are on.\n\nIf you are having a good experience on it, that's great!! You don't have to worry about the medicine at all.\n\nGood luck to you and I hope I was some what helpful.

Try Wellbutrin XL, got of the other Zoloft b/c of the same thing, and the new med works good. Just keep an eye on it and switch slowly, reducing one while adding the other.

I worked for me but I was usuing it 10 times per day and was constantly stoned. Basically it just temperarily masks symtoms and is not the best choice. Its effects arre too short lived and its wayyyyyyy to expensive. I now take lexapro (10mg once a day) and xanax (1 mg as needed). I was recently put on Depakote 750mg becuase once I detoxed for 3 months, my dr. and I found that I had an underlying mood disorder. I can honestly say I'm much better off not self medicating and taking only what my dr. perscribes.

I was takeing it before for depression and anxiety and i found it really did work (espeically for my anxiety). Don't throw them away like some people suggest, those are just the ignorant ones that thinks it's a sin to give your body a little medical help, when there is absolutely nothing wrong with medication. Sorry about that, but you need to listen to whatever your doc said. Other than not changing your dosage w/out your docs permission and taken your meds at a constant time (like right before dinner every day so you don't forget a dose) and not taking them on an empty stomach (unless told to by your doc) there ain't to much. Don't mess with the dosage, don't skip days if possible, and don't stop taking them because you start to feel better, some ppl stop when they feel better and then they just go downhill. Just listen to your doc, he/she is a professional and knows what's best for you.

I started 10mg of Lexapro about 4 weeks ago, the drowsiness for me went away about into the 3rd week.  Sometimes after a long day, I just lay down and take a nap.  It does help, the benefits though of Lexapro outweigh the side effects.  There are side effects with ALL medications.  The good news is with antidepressants they eventually evaporate, or should anyway, if after a month it gets worse, or no better talk to your doc, he/she may have to change either the dosage or the med, or the time you are taking it.  They will help you, BUT you have to be patient and give it some time to do the job.  I know, I was inpatient too.  He first put me on zoloft and I turned into a zombie for 3 weeks, he took me off and put me on Lexapro.  I definitly had less side effects.  Hang in there, it could be worse, trust me.\nGood luck

Ive taken zoloft for years.  Missing one dose has caused a lot of problems with me and my emotional state.  It isnt good to do that because you throuw your whole system off for weeks, and that is why they say that prescriptions usually take 4-6 weeks to kick in or whatever time frame:  so that your body can get used to it, and the inhibitors within the drug can take it's sweet time to effect your brain and fill in the chemical imbalances.  I also take thyroid pills and I get knocked off course if I miss one dose, and it lasts a couple weeks for me (even if I continue taking it again) to even get back to normal, and I feel down and depresed the entire time.  it isnt worth it, try your hardest to remember to take them, especially zoloft, you dont want to continue feeling miserable until your body gets back on course, do you?  That is why you are taking them in the first place.  Ty and think of ways you can remember to take them, I have so many pills it's gotten easier for me to remember, but missing a dose can really mess up your mind and cause your body to slow down with whatever is going on that you need it.  Good luck, Ive been in the same boat for 12 years

You would have to ask his personal physician to get an answer that is not an opinion.  And yes, zoloft will naturally slow you down

Please call your doctor tomorrow and tell the person who answers the phone that prozac gives you nightmares.\n\nDO NOT JUST SUFFER THROUGH THIS.  Take action.  Please.

I began taking the geodon and lamictal about a month ago and I have had adverse side effects to the geodon. If I attempt to take it in the morning(80mg) I have no choice but to take a nap and can not function for at least an hour. I want to try something else when I talk to my shrink again. However I feel as if the Lamictal has been working well and my ups and downs have been neutralized. but quite frankly I'd rather have racing thoughts than take geodon anymore and can only handle the 80mgs. in the evening before bed. The doctor told me it would take time to adjust but I am not so sure about it.

I've read that Paxil is more dangerous than Zoloft, but all anti-depressants can mess you up even more than you already are. I was thinking of getting a prescription for one until I read several articles & books on the subject and decided against it. I'm doing just fine now! :)
