anyone else weaning off meds?

I have taken 25s of zoloft for over a year now and doc is having me take half for a week to see what happens. im on day 5 and i feel ok, but a little heavy in the head and extra tired. I cant tell if its from the meds or just from being a big fat whale..lol. Anyone else decreasing meds?

    I've been off my hyperthyroidism meds for about 3 months now. I have Grave's disease (thyroid is super active) and had to take meds to slow my roid down. At the start of my pregnancy I was taking 4 pills a day and now I'm not taking any :)

    I just have to go in monthly for blood work and look out for signs - anxiety, extreme weight loss and hair loss :(

    Sucks but glad my meds are not in me to pass to bebe

    I have been on 75 of zoloft for a while.  I recently came down to 50.  I am a little grumpier...but like you said, I dont know if that is due to the meds or the fact that I dont sleep more than 4 hours per night because I feel like a water-retaining sea cow.

  • i weaned off zoloft during second tri.  i'll start it up again at two weeks postpartum.  it's been a lot easier with this pregnancy than with the last, i've noticed.  that may be because i'm so busy chasing after my toddler that i don't have time to sit around and be depressed.
