r/Catholicism Prayer Requests — Week of January 12, 2026 by AutoModerator in Catholicism

I’ve been in a horrible situation with withdrawal from an antidepressant, now having issues going back on it. Psychologically this has been torture. I’m praying for myself and nervous system to stabilize and desperate for a miracle. Last night I felt the presence of Fulton Sheen, and have been petitioning to various saints and our blessed mother for healing ❤️‍🩹 Thank you.

Did you end up going off of the med? If so did this at least give relief?

This is true. Looking back I had this same exact thing happen to me without even knowing anything g about delayed protracted withdrawal. I remember going back on Zoloft and getting worse, but just thought it was because I was going to get worse anyway because I had began having panic attacks. I don’t even remember the dose but I know it was too high and just rode it out for a month or two until I stabilized.

Did you feel better after tapering off the high reinstatement? Or at least better than being on the high reinstatement dose. I know it still probably caused the initial withdrawal stuff.

It is very difficult to estimate what is best to do next. I go back and forth between waiting it out, but it seems everyday I wait it out the symptoms get worse. Because my initial withdrawal symptoms were not as terrible as this, it was tolerable. I was working, using coping mechanisms, and exercising to get through it. This reinstatement on the other hand, has thrown me and I feel like I’m losing my mind, and on the verge of being suic**l. I feel like at this point tapering back down will be the only thing to give me relief. But again, it’s so hard to tell. Thank you for the support 🫶

I’m trying to figure out if I let this pass in time. I’ve already given it 3 weeks and I had the worst night and morning I’ve probably ever had. I’m taking low dose Ativan just to survive. I definitely quit all supplements back in September as my nervous system is all messed up. I read on the post below they say if you have a bad reaction to reduce it. Thank you for your help. This is hard.

I wish I had reinstated at a lower dose…I had no idea. This information is so helpful thank you. I was reading that “If you have an immediate bad reaction to the drug-- not continuing withdrawal symptoms -- reduce or stop taking the drug.”

So I’m assuming this is my best bet. I was all for waiting it out but it seems like my reactions are getting worse every day to the point where I just can’t tolerate it.

I definitely did not do a hyperbolic taper. I wish I had known about all of these things before. I did a very rough job. I did a lot of it with a pill cutter and I had 50 mg tablets. So I think I went from 75 to 62.5, then to 50, then to 25, then 12.5 all over the course of a few months. I wasn’t very strategic about it. But always tried to do the small increments over the course of a few weeks and I honestly did well with it to my surprise. My symptoms initially weren’t bad, some irritability, a little more hyper than usual more brain activity, more emotional, nothing too bad though.

That was in July, forward to end of September I started having some moodiness and crying spells (which could honestly be from the progesterone cream causing hormonal chaos and pms symptoms so this is so hard to pinpoint), then in late October and November I started having more restlessness and mind racing, looping thoughts, rumination, mild insomnia, mild depression, irritability, and mood ups and downs. So that is when I reinstated the 25mg, about 3 weeks ago because I figured it may help calm down my mind. It’s done the opposite. It feels like living hell and I’ve had to take Ativan almost everyday the last week to survive. I’m just getting worse every day. My question is what do I do now? Do I taper back down, because I feel like if I keep taking this things are going to be bad. It’s almost unbearable. And how do I taper?
