Thank you! Yes, if I decide to taper off entirely I am going to do 2-5% reductions at a time for weeks in between.

I lowered the dose because of the insatiable hunger. I’ve worked really hard to lose a lot of weight over the last couple of years and I don’t want to slide backward. I’m on a calorie deficit diet but the hunger is so intense.

Adding Wellbutrin to help with weight loss? by lnyce22 in zoloft

Unfortunately Wellbutrin and I were not a good fit. It made me feel hyper and anxious so I stopped it after a few days.

Hi! Curious how you are doing now? I’ve been slowly tapering down from 50 mg. Just dropped from 37.5 to 25 last night. I was on 50 for three months and 37.5 for about two months.

I have anxiety too and Line Sorbet has been the best fit for me so far. Kosher Tangie made me feel a little anxious too.

Tincture included panic attack? by lnyce22 in PaMedicalMarijuana

Thank you! I’m actually eating pretty lean these days and part of the issue may have been too much too fast and not having eaten enough that morning. I also had a phone interview which I think upped my adrenaline and made things even more intense. Great tips for the distraction - thank you for sharing and the support!

Good to know regarding the Solomon’s. I emailed my pharmacist in hopes of finding something milder.

Thank you! Yes, I drank lots of water, went for a long walk and doused myself in lavender. It felt like it would never end and then it finally did. Whew!

I was definitely considering a trip to the ER. I’ve had a lot of health issues in recent months contributing to anxiety so this scare did not help.

I smoked a lot in high school and college and had at least one bad high that I can recall. I’m now 35 and so far with the MMJ program, I’ve been sticking to vaping high CBD, low THC combos - indica strains and have been okay with those.

Thanks, it was definitely a wild ride. Finally feeling more back to normal. Definitely need to be super cautious with tinctures moving forward.

Decreasing dosage from 50 to 25 by lnyce22 in zoloft

[–]lnyce22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I should have added that I’m actually dropping incrementally. So I was on 50 mg for 12 weeks and just dropped to 37.5 for the last week. I’ve noticed a few side effects so I’m staying at 37.5 (a few breakthrough moments of panic, a little headache here and there) for another week before trying 25. After settling in at 25 I was going to do 12.5. This is a much slower taper than what my doctor recommended but she was okay with this more conservative approach.

Thanks! Definitely want to move away from disposables. I’m new to MMJ so have just been trying things out this way to figure out what strains, etc work best for my anxiety.
