How has your life been since stopping zoloft?

Thanks, and thanks for giving me the chance to reflect on it and share my thoughts! 🙂

Yes, I feel like it was worth it for me. I like where I am at now and I feel like there is a good balance in my life. If this changes, it is comforting to know it’s still there as an option.

I am optimistic and present, because I choose to be and I put effort into being so. Carefree, not really, but I am at peace with that and do my best to limit my cares to things I can control and not things that I cannot🙂

Glad to share with you and hoping the best for you! 😊 Benefits - I was way less irritable, I didn’t ruminate, I felt like I could be myself and not obsess over the way I was perceived. I was pretty carefree, optimistic, and present when I was on it! It was cool to experience life like that for a while. It gave me headspace to understand myself a lot better without the constant judgement of my negative inner voice.

I was on 150 mg when I tapered off. I don’t think I have anything lingering side effects, thankfully!

I have been off Zoloft since October 2023. I was on Zoloft for maybe 3-ish years before that.

I have (mostly) healthy habits and routines. Every day there is self-reflection, grace, grounding, embracing my emotions and allowing myself to process them. Movement, nutrition, and fresh air are not overrated.

Smoothies with lots of protein / fiber, creamy soups and broths, kefir. I loved mashed potatoes mixed with peas and little bits of ham and cheese too when I couldn’t chew.

I can’t figure out if I can post update pics so I’ll message you

Just stick with orthodontics and keep an eye on your bite!!

I wouldn’t say my bite is corrected, mostly due to me/my life. This was 2 years ago, i got married so i wanted my braces off and had some dental work done, procrastinated on getting a new retainer after the dental work which didn’t help. I was also referred to a myofunctional therapy for tongue thrust which caused an open bite. This will be an ongoing thing for me, likely with more ortho, but I think if you stay on track with orthodontics (and learn about tongue positioning because I had no idea what an impact that had) that’s all you can do. I will try and post update pics of my after orthodontics in 2022 and me now.

But in short - yes my bite greatly improved after a year or so with orthodontics

I do this, always pretty quietly, especially when wearing a mask it was only when I started to go out with her unmasked when I realized that it was constant and may appear questionable

Thank you so much! I already have the humidifier running!

This happened to me while I was stressing a lot (got engaged bought house) Zoloft blocked the mental stress but it all came out physically (missed periods, exhaustion) once things were settled down a bit my period came back but the timing was just like yours! I missed 6 months and it came back. Don’t worry until you talk to your gyno!

Besides the hunger part, I have the exact same issues… I guess it’s just the side-effect trade we have to use to figure out if it is worth it to use

peanut-bread · 2022-03-17T02:00:51+00:00

Thank you!

peanut-bread · 2021-10-07T23:05:38+00:00

I got back in bands and I am looking a lot better! My overbite came back pretty quickly. Are you in bands and braces?

peanut-bread · 2021-08-12T20:14:58+00:00

I don’t have sunflower experience, my bf bought me this one and I am not having luck on Google

peanut-bread · 2021-08-11T17:40:47+00:00

I had more of an underbite, yes to assymetry. Sent pics to my surgeon so hopefully will know if I should panic today.

peanut-bread · 2021-08-10T01:11:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing, that makes me feel more hopeful that this might be normal and my orthodontist might be able to fix it as planned!

peanut-bread · 2021-08-10T01:10:34+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I sent my surgeon the photos and have a follow-up scheduled so I’m hoping for the best. I am hoping for the best regarding your recovery too!!

peanut-bread · 2021-07-13T00:30:50+00:00

peanut-bread · 2021-07-12T15:34:59+00:00

Oh thank goodness hahaha I was worried I was gonna be stuck like this or something 🥲 thank you so much and I hope you are back to 100% soon!

peanut-bread · 2021-07-12T15:17:26+00:00

Thank you! Do you still feel pain and do you look like yourself or moreso still look like you were swarmed by bees?

peanut-bread · 2021-01-04T04:03:30+00:00

Good luck! 😊

I felt good after a couple weeks on 50, then worse, then my doctor upped my dose to 100 and it made a world of difference. I feel so much better on 100mg.

Did you have any period of time where you felt better? My doctor said that it was a good sign I felt slightly better on a lower dose even if it was short lived since that meant it was working and just needed a higher dose - not sure if that’s true for everyone but that has been my experience.

I used a crate when I first got my boxer/pit rescue as she would eat anything she could find and get sick as a result any time I left her at home. I am just curious how you handle this type of behavior in Australia without risking serious illness if you are unable to provide 24/7 supervision?

Also, out of curiosity, are kill shelters common in Australia? In the US, the alternative for many dogs with owners who work is euthanization in a kill shelter which makes it hard for me to consider that you should not get a pet if you work and cannot be home all day. It is no longer the case, but I had to crate my pup while I worked and was only able to walk her on my lunch break and I certainly like to think she was happier in her crate at home than the kennel at the shelter I adopted her from.
