NO MORE PILLS!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: November 13, 2008, 11:05:17 AM »
I have had it!!! I am weaning myself off of my Zoloft b/c I am tired of having to rely on a pill to get myself through life. This is just ridiculous & pills are soo bad for our bodies! I refuse to live like this anymore, if I was "normal" once I can be normal again - WITHOUT DRUGS that mess up my kidneys & liver. They take away money that I don't have just to buy them every month, I can't go out like a REGULAR 21 YEAR OLD to the bar & drink with my friends b/c I get dizzy, nauseous, & extremely drousy, & I could die!!! I am just so fed up being so young having to ruin my body with stupid pills. Zoloft WAS my last resort but screw this, I can't take it anymore, I have decided that I CAN GET OVER IT MYSELF & ONLY I CONTROL MY MIND & BODY OF HOW I CHOOSE TO FEEL!!! I never really take my Klonopin for back-up when needed because tranquilizers are far worse than SSRIs!!!

I will find another way to vanish my anxiety [my doc told me 14 months ago after I had my daughter that it was normal for me to have gotten this & that it would go away in a year or two.... so that means I have about 10 months to rid it until my daughter turns two!!!]

So is anybody drug free out there & dealing with their anxiety just fine now?????

Thanks for reading - Rachel.

Hi, I'm new here so I hope you don't mind me responding.  First off, I can definitely understand you not wanting to live life on meds.  I've definitely been there.  I was put on Zoloft, too, a few months after I had my baby.  I never felt better on it, though, and the side effects never went away, so I weaned off it after a few months.  I did have my doctor's permission to do this, and I'm sure you know that it can be dangerous to stop meds without the help of your doctor.  So please don't do anything without discussing it with him or her first, k? 

I am not currently taking any medications for my anxiety, but I'm not doing great at managing it on my own.  If I could find a med that would help me feel better, I would take it in a heartbeat!  I don't want to have to rely on one forever either, but sometimes you need help to get yourself on track.  I wish you the best of luck!   :sad0126:
