3 yrs after stopping Zoloft still having withdrawal symptoms every day
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: Jan 29, 2023 | Replies (21)Comment receiving replies
My adult daughter had a terrible reaction to Zoloft (including the internal vibrations and picking at her skin and eye lashes) and went off that recently to try Lexapro. I worry she doesn’t taper adequately, as she has tried many different drugs over the last 15 years. I know there are things like SSRI rebound and withdrawl side effects, but permanent damage from withdrawing too quickly? Is this purely anecdotal or are there studies that show this? Another thing for me to worry about 😞

I really do not know to be completely honest. I read that some believe there can be permanent damage, but I don't think there has been a definitive study because the long term effects haven't been measurable up to this point. There is a good website called the Inner Compass Initiative that has information on a tapering schedule. I found it too late for my situation. Best of luck to your daughter!
