[Ho...] Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I’m 10 weeks off clonazepam, and having a hard time with some withdrawals which I know is normal but my anxiety is saying “what if suddenly the Zoloft you’ve been on is causing all of this?” Mind you I’ve been on the Zoloft for several years (before the clonazepam) and I don’t want to taper it just yet if I don’t have to because I’d rather heal from the benzo first. I guess what I’m asking is it wouldn’t suddenly be that the Zoloft is acting different and causing my anxiety / depression / Dpdr after coming off clonazepam right? Is that just my head messing with me?? This is probably strictly benzo related yes? The Zoloft never effected me before but I’m scared it is now because I’m not taking clonazepam with it … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pa...] Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 It sounds like benzo fear has a grip on you, isn't it amazing how we find stuff to worry about, stuff that never bothered us before? My suggestion is to not go off the Zoloft, you've made enough changes for now, give your body time to heal and yes, it can even while taking an SSRI.

[dr...] Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I stayed on my SSRI all through the taper. Still on it now. Got Abilify to worry about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[So...] Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Agreed. If it were me, I would not taper the Zoloft yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[we...] Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Bounce ideas about meds off doctor but I wouldn’t make any further life changing decisions. This deal is already chaotic enough. I have to sit on my hands sometimes and force myself to be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Hi...] Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hello I have been on effexor 75mg once per day for many years and I stayed in it during my CT and am still on it. Never had an issue. My thought is stay the course. Only one at a time Hingie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
