Going back on Zoloft after a few months of trying to live without it.

Frankly I’m not sure why I thought weening myself off and trying to live without meds would do me any good. I was on it initially for nearly 5 years. I thought, maybe I should see how my brain is without the Zoloft? Maybe it rewired my brain somehow!

Wrong.

Queue the most intense anxiety and obsessive thinking I’ve ever had in my life. The last month or so has been absolute hell. Starting today, I’m going back on Zoloft.

I’m a little disappointed that I’ll most likely be on meds for the rest of my life. But if it helps me function and feel like myself, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, right?
