Zoloft withdrawal from 150mg dosage.
Zoloft withdrawal. How to reduce Zoloft 150mg dosage. Step
by step procedures.
Once the supplements arrive, you are ready to begin what we
call the Pre-Taper.
Week 1
How to take supplements: Follow the instructions on the
label of each bottle. That simple
Remember; do not reduce the Zoloft during the first week.
Week 2
Take one of the 50mg Zoloft pills and cut in half and then
take one of the halves and cut it in half.
You will take (1) 100mg pill, one half of the 50mg pill and
one of the quarter cuts you made. This will give you 137.5mg
of Zoloft each day. Take the Zoloft like this every day for
the next 7 days.
Continue taking the supplements as you were.
This is the time to start watching for any signs of Zoloft
withdrawal. Not likely at this stage but it is time to start
watching.
The most common Zoloft withdrawal symptom at this stage and
throughout will be head symptoms. Use the Omega 3 Supreme TG
for those. Just increase the amount you take of the omega by
one softgel and that should do it. If you need to increase
by two softgels go ahead and do that but once head symptoms
are gone reduce the omega back down again.
If you experience nausea, drink some ginger tea.
Week 3
Take the 50mg Zoloft pill and cut it in half.
The next 7 days take: (1) 100mg pill and the half of the
50mg pill you cut. This will give you 125mg for the next 7
days.
Week 4
Cut the 50mg pill in half and then half again, making
quarters.
This week you will take each day: (1) 100mg pill and ¼ of a
50mg Zoloft pill.
The next 7 days you will be at 112.5mg of the Zoloft
Week 5
This week take (1) 100mg Zoloft pill each day.
Week 6
Take (1) 50mg Zoloft pill, (1) Zoloft pill you cut in half
and (1) Zoloft quarter from a 50mg pill.
This amount will give you 87.5mg of Zoloft each week.
Week 7
You will cut (1) 50mg Zoloft pill in half.
Take (1) 50mg Zoloft pill and (1) of the halves of the 50mg
Zoloft.
This gets you down to 75mg of Zoloft this week.
Week 8
Take (1) 50mg Zoloft pill and ¼ of the 50mg Zoloft you cut.
This gets you down to 62.5 this week.
Week 9
Take (1) 50mg Zoloft pill the next 7 days.
Week 10
This week you will cut the 50mg Zoloft in half.
Take 1 of the halves and cut it in half.
You will take the ½ Zoloft pill and one of the quarter
slices the next 7 days. This gets you too 37.5mg of Zoloft.
Week 11
Take ½ of a 50mg Zoloft pill each day for the week.
This gets you to 12.5mg of Zoloft.
Take this amount for the next 7 days.
Week 12
Take (1) of the ¼ Zoloft slices from the 50mg pill this
week.
This is an extra step the other dosages don’t need but the
12.5mg dosage to zero is a bit too much.
Continue taking the supplements for 45 additional days after
the last Zoloft went into your body. Time to heal the body a
little now.
If
at any time during the reduction of the Zoloft the Zoloft
withdrawal is too much for you to handle:
Go
back up to the last dosage you were doing fine at, remain at
that dosage at least 7 more days. Get stable again. Then
when you reduce again, reduce the Zoloft slower. This might
mean less of a reduction amount or wait 14 days before each
reduction.
The steps to take if Zoloft withdrawal is too much for
you is very important. There is no need to suffer and the
longer you go through extreme Zoloft withdrawal side effects
it makes it more difficult to get rid of them.
Any head symptoms but especially a Zoloft
withdrawal side effect known as "brain zaps" can be reduced
or stopped with the
Omega 3 Supreme. Increase the omega 3 to as much as 4
softgels twice a day if needed. Once the brain zaps subside
reduce the omega 3 back down again.
If the brain zaps begin, normally the
brain zaps start about the same time each day. Let's say
they tend to start at 10am each morning. Take the Omega 3
Supreme each day at 9am. Schedule to take the omega 3 about
an hour before the brain zaps begin.
The other supplements should not need to
be adjusted.
Remember; slow and steady will win this
race.
Possibly you have gained weight due to
the Zoloft. Wait until off the Zoloft for a few weeks before
starting a weight reduction program. Taking several walks
each day would be excellent to do during the withdrawal but
hold off on starting vigorous exercise until two weeks off
the Zoloft.
Keep taking the supplements for 45-day
after the last Zoloft pill went down your throat.
We are asked; "Can I continue taking the
supplements after the 45-days?" Yes you can.
