Stopping Zoloft Cold Turkey After 6 Days: Safe?

Can I stop 50 mg zoloft cold turkey after 6 days of use?

1 Answer
Dr. Vikas Patel

Psychiatrist

Answered on 23rd May '24

Taking a 50mg Zoloft dose abruptly for 6 days without medical advice is not the right thing to do. The abrupt termination of this medicine can produce withdrawal of the symptoms and may affect your undesirable mental health. A psychiatrist or a mental health professional would counsel reducing the medicine very slowly and supervising you closely.

I have been suffering from music stuck in my head . As soon as I wake up that music starts to play in my head and it never end . I am very tensed about this because it affects my daily life activities like I can't even focus on my studies please help me

Female | 17

You might be dealing with "earworms," which is when a song gets stuck in your head. This can happen due to stress, fatigue, or simply hearing the song too often. To manage it, try switching to a different activity, listening to another song, or talking to a counselor to handle stress. Remember to take breaks from work and enjoy some downtime.

Will I die of valium 5mg 30 pills and Xanax 0.5 30 pills with alcohol

Male | 32

Mixing Valium, Xanax, and alcohol can be extremely dangerous. They all influence the brain to slow down activities, which can result in respiratory difficulties, unconsciousness, and even death. Indications may involve sleepiness, bewilderment, slurred language, and a decrease in respiration. If you've mixed these, look for urgent medical care immediately. It's crucial never to combine these substances because it might be fatal.

Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation

Female | 25

When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

Hi my name is Diallo My question is what can i be sociable how to overcome timidity and stress that leads me to stay home all the time

Female | 30

It is okay to fe­el shy and stressed at time­s. Many people face this. It can fe­el hard to be with others. You might fe­el nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are­ not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone­ you trust. Taking deep breaths and le­arning to relax can also help lower stre­ss. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

I was wondering if I might have something such as DID, as I have been experiencing some symptoms. 1: I have auditory hallucinatons from time to time, like people talking, or whispering my name. 2: I cannot remeber most of my childhood at all. 3: I also talk to myself a lot, like I am a different person. 4: I have visual hallucinations sometimes, like shadows in the corner of my eye 5: Also have trouble focusing sometimes 6: very impulsive sometimes 7: I also daydream alot, and usually for 30 minutes + I and my sister was verbally abused from 2016 to 2022. It stopped in 2022 because I pointed it out. My ‘alters’ aren’t so complicated they are just different aspects of myself really. Most of the time to the extreme though. Like one is me but angry, sad, etc. Once I had a bit of a dissociative fugue, when I kind of just fazed out on the bus and I came to, on the bus but at a different point in the road, and I had no memory of what had happened.

Male | 18

Based on the symptoms, your problem may be Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Consulting with an experienced psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, especially in the field of DID, is crucial in diagnosing and planning personalized treatment.

I’ve been put on 4mg diazepam. Is that okay with 10mg ramipril. I have panic disorder and worry!

Female | 42

You're taking 4mg of diaze­pam, and 10mg of ramipril for panic disorder. These me­dicines interact. Diazepam boosts ramipril's e­ffect, causing low blood pressure, and dizzine­ss. They make you drowsier, dizzie­r, lightheaded. If expe­riencing these symptoms, consult your he­althcare provider about adjusting medications.

Cold sweats,cold feet ,heart ache ,fear of death,nausea,cough

Female | 22

The situation you describe may indicate that you are suffering from a panic attack. Cold sweats, cold feet, chest pain, fear of dying, nausea, and coughing can be the accompanying symptoms. Panic attacks may result from stress, anxiety, or even a medical condition. Among the ways of handling a panic attack are deep breathing, concentrating on relaxing thoughts, and talking to a trustworthy person.

Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?

Male | 26

You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.

Male | 21

Often, a constant fe­eling of tiredness ye­t not wanting to sleep signals slee­p issues or irregular routine. Pe­rhaps insufficient rest or poor slee­p patterns occur. Stress, exce­ssive screen time­, or inadequate exe­rcise contribute. Establish a regular sle­ep schedule. Limit caffe­ine and sugar intake and wind down before­ bed.

The tetanus toxoid vaccine produces immunity by blocking the bacterial infection. If you see redness, warmth, or swelling, or if you have fever or muscle stiffness, contact the doctor as fast as you can. Monitor the different symptoms that may arise and just come back to us if there is any need
