I'm now on a high level of Zoloft, and it seems to be helping in some but not all areas of my struggles. I'm glad to hear that it's not just me that is having a hard time finding a good balance of medication.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04266599901569140088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772933038599972944.post-25456776078182718242011-03-28T07:39:37.937-07:002011-03-28T07:39:37.937-07:00I am so glad to see that you share the same patter...I am so glad to see that you share the same pattern! Well - that didn't come out quite right - I'm not happy to see that you continue to suffer, but I am happy that you move forward, stall, move back a bit, re-group, and then move on. I get so frustrated with this and feel like such a failure when this stuff doesn't go in a straight line!!!! Regarding medication - I have tried almost every type of SSRI and nothing seemed to work - and they all gave me nasty side effects. I can relate to your "fear" though - not wanting to go off the Zoloft "just in case" it is working (then all the checking starts - am I feeling better than I was when I wasn't on Zoloft? etc). I finally got off THAT OCD train and decided that none of it was doing anything for me. When I had my last bout - a temporary physician put me on Meclobemide - an MAOI. I actually think this really does help me with the depression, but not the OCD. I'm OK with that - there are no side effects and it helps me to feel better in order to continue with CBT!!!Pure O Canuckhttp://www.pureocanuck.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
