About a 8-9 months ago (maybe it was longer now that I think about it) I stopped taking my Zoloft. It's only 25mg. (or whatever the lowest level was) I went on it becuase I was struggling with a breakup and alot of other stressors at the time. I could not sleep, and my mind would not shut up, I was having a hard time functioning at work because my mind would not shut up.

So I went off of them, I didn't want to have to take something, I felt like I could handle the stressors of life and I could control the voices, at least keep them positive. I did until now.
I can sleep. I've been working 7 days a week, so that's solved that problem.
But I can't seem to quit overthinking about things. To the point that it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to self talk. I go to therapy still, but Idk. I'm just not shaking this.
I don't want to take them again. Just for the fact of I don't want to be medicated. (Again ridiculous thought knowing it's only 25 mg)

So has anyone else went on and off with success? I just seem so darned distracted, and I can't get it back together. Ugh.

Thanks in advance.

    I went off Celexa last June. I felt it was neither helping nor hurting me, so I weaned myself off. My issues are situational...no amount of medication was going to fix what was wrong at the time.

    I would suggest you speak to your doctor before you do anything. Coming off these meds is no joke.

    This is true. It was a little rough coming off, that's another reason why I'm hesitant to go back again. Ugh.

    Just frustrating to decide when you can think your way out of something or if your brain is really that broken.
