Thought I was ready

After being on Zoloft for over a year and doing really, really well, I thought I was ready to go off of it.  I was hit pretty bad with PPD very soon after DS was born and saw my therapist for about a year.  

I slowly started weaning myself off (from 100 mg, down to 75 every other day for 2 weeks and on downward.)  This was after getting guidance from my PCP over the summer.  Well, now I'm totally off of it and now feel like total crap.  All of the negative thoughts are creeping back in, I'm second guessing every single decision I make and am back to crying over stupid crap.  I'm so frustrated and just want to feel better!  I know I need to go back on it, but the main reason I wanted to get off the meds was because my libido is completely non-existent and I was hoping this would help.  Ugh.   

Things will get better right?  I have an appt to see my doc, but it's not till next week.  Should I try a different med?

    Im not a doc or anything.. but do you have any 25 mg pills left? You could try one every other day or something until the appointment?

    I'm on 150 mg of Zoloft so I know what you mean about libido.  I also take Buspar which has really helded in that area.  I even had an orgasm!  Shocked the heck out of me.  I've read patient reviews and others have mentionted Buspar helped their libido.
