> FYI -there is a Withdrawal Board available here also.From 50mg, I did try a cold Turkey about 10 days ago, but on day 3, I felt like I was having a stroke, this was when the Zaps first hit me. I immideately reinstated the zoloft back to 50mg for 3 days before cutting back to 25mg.
I've been taking Benadryl 25mg every 3-4 hours while awake just to take the edge off, as I feel like I'm getting Akastisia. The Benadryl should help, not hurt, right ?
I only Take Xanax XR and have fast acting Xanax as needed. The Zoloft is my only other med.
