WHat happens if you dont take your antidepressants?

Question

75g zoloft at night 16yo female, been taking ti for a few months and I haven't taken it in a few days

Answer 1

Withdrawal symptoms as listed on the medication insert packet, and your depression will come back, sometimes worse than you remembered at first.  You can wikipedia the withdrawal symptoms if you don't have the insert anymore.  Usually with antidepressants you have to ween off them to avoid the withdrawal as much as possible.  Call your doctor if you need a change in medications or just want to be taken off.

Answer 2

Well, I imagine you'd probably feel depressed.... As easy an answer as that sounds.

I mean, why aren't you anyway? If they're not helping, just go to the doctor and get a better prescription or just a withdrawal plan.

Just stopping is a silly thing to do, you know.

Answer 4

Soon you will start to feel strange sensations, like electrical shocks in your brain, accompanied by dizziness. Then it starts to get worse. After a variable period of time you will recover, but I warn you withdrawal is no fun. Never start or stop prescription medication without medical supervision. Go back to taking the Zoloft, then talk to your doctor about why you stopped it.

Answer 5

Only you will know how you feel....Antidepressants are mind controlling drugs, in my opinion, and sometimes people are depressed..

If you feel that you are not getting results from your antidepressant, then who would know better than you?  take care..
