Learning about Zoloft/Setraline, A medication I take.
11 years ago
General
Well, I started thinking, about some drama that happened, and...I am trying to begin to appoligise and let a long lasting grudge fall to the wayside, but it brought something up in my mind.
Why do I get so easily angered and in such a foul mood if I even miss a single day of my Medication....
I decided to do some research... and I found out that Zoloft, a medication I have been taking for years, is known for having -SEVERE- and MAJOR withdrawl issues....

...It apparently pretty much "Never" goes away.....Meaning I am going to have to take this for the rest of my life, if I don't want to struggle with my anger, stress, and the "Paranoia" caused by my brain trying to return also to "Hyperspeed ADHD mode" ...
..So Now I wish to appoligise, Both to everyone, but also to
lemuel and...anyone else I have really caused problems too, that I am sorry I apparently am such a douchbag, especially when I miss my medication *missed -one day- already started getting very agitable* ...But I still try to control myself as best I can when off of it, but I can tell you right now, it is ungodly hard...
I am very sorry everyone, I bet this is post agrivation 'depression' that I get from missing medication too, but at least it puts me in a more reasonable state while I wait on my medicine to kick in...

I don't know your medical history of course... didn't even know you were in anti-depressants. But might be worth asking about the Welburtin. She's been off of it a while when she ragequit her meds... granted she's more manic than depressive now but... that also has to do with the fact she stopped taking her anti-psychotics too.
I've mentioned to you before but I will say again it is really important to establish a routine for taking them so you don't forget. If you took all your medications at once you might be less inclined to overlook one, though if you have a combination of medicines that aren't meant to be taken together you should most certainly adhere to that. The unfortunate reality is that as much as you may try to control your moods without the assistance of drugs, you won't always succeed, and when you fail you hurt your friends as much as yourself. That's why you need them, and you need to recognize and accept this aspect of yourself. It isn't pleasant, it isn't fair, but it is reality.
There are a lot of people who care for you, myself included, and I hope you'll seek at least one of us out whenever you're having trouble.
All my love.
And that sucks that you are low... I have a delivery every month set up for my meds so... I almost never run out
I'd be happy to offer help in any way I can, really, but all I can recommend is a talk with your doctor about the merits of switching over into something with almost non-existant withdrawal effects (at least, I fail to notice any).
