well here is my story. about 5 years a go i encountered severe panic attacks and other anxiety related issues. I was 15 at the time and I truely thought I was dying. It was a terrebly experience and something no 15 year old thinks is going to happen. I was prescribed zoloft after months of being miserablely depressed, sick and feeling like I was extremely high on some kind of drug when I wasn't. Ive been taking zoloft for 5 years now and have tried before to quit only ending with misery, loss of interest in things i love, and sadness. Last time I was off for about a month when on vacation in hawaii I ended up talking to my grandmother(anatomy teacher at college) about how she noticed how sad I was and I told her about how funny I feel. Now I am trying again because I want to enter the military. I know I am going to suffer from withdrawl again. When I wean off i get that near pass out feeling when I turn my head like when I back my truck up. At nights sometime it feels like my body is not where it is like it is mutch larger(wierd.) Anyways I would like to know what other zoloft users think and maybee hear about your experiences. From what ive read im not alone and many others suffer from the same side effects. will i ever fell normal again without this damned drug that i feel in holding my personality down?????
 
You will feel different but it may take awhile. Your body has to adjust just as it has adjusted or adapted to the effects of zoloft. I did not have a lot of problems getting off of it that I remeraber but it zapped my sex drive so I went off fairly quickly. Are you on any other meRAB because those are some tough symptoms you are having. Sincerely, searchin
 
Hello there! I was on Zoloft before during this past year. Anyway, it is extremely important that you only taper down off of the Zoloft under a doctor's orders. I do not know if you did this or not. If you did, I apologize. However, not following those instructions can cause some very severe symptoms such as suicidal thoughts and such.

As for the feeling as though you were high on drugs, I do not know what could cause that. I would speak to your psychiatrist or psychologist about it.
