Zoloft 50mg

Zoloft withdrawal from 50mg can be accomplished with a slow and gradual Zoloft withdrawal. When The Road Back Program was launched in 1999, we could get 50% of the people off Zoloft. The 50% still suffered Zoloft withdrawal side effects but they could get off the Zoloft.

Many of the 50% that were successful getting off Zoloft still suffered prolonged Zoloft withdrawal side effects though, months after their last dosage of Zoloft.

In the year 2000, we began researching nutritional supplements to see if they would help with any of the Zoloft withdrawal symptoms. There was enough success to warrant further research. Click here to read the bio of our founder for a better idea of what we did. 

1. You will need to have the 25mg pill of Zoloft for the taper. Get with your prescribing physician and show them this taper method and they will write the new prescription for the 25mg Zoloft dosage.

2. Order the supplements you will need to take at this time.

3. Get a pill cutter from a local pharmacy.

4. Continue taking the 50mg Zoloft as you have until you have everything needed and are ready to begin reducing.

Supplements you will need: Neuro Day, Neuro Night, JNK Formula, Omega 3 Supreme

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 1 of the 25mg Zoloft pills and cut in half.

Take 1 the Zoloft pill you cut in half and cut it in half.

You will now take (1) 25mg pill, the pill that is now one half size and (1) of the slices you cut from the half pill. This gives you 43.75mg of Zoloft daily.

Take your Zoloft like this every day for the next 7 days.

Continue taking the supplements as you did during week 1 Pre-Taper.

If you get any head symptoms, brain zaps (electric jolt that runs from base of neck up into the skull), dizziness, virtually head symptom, increase the amount of Omega 3 Supreme TG. Increase by 1 softgel to begin with. If no relief you may need to increase by 2 softgels.

Normally head symptoms begin at a certain time of the day if they even begin. Let’s say they start at noon every day. Take the Omega 3 at 11am. Whenever they may begin, take the Omega an hour before.

You can do the same with the Neuro Day for anxiety or a restless feeling. If that begins at noon, take the Neuro Day at 11am.

Week 3

Take (1) of the 25mg Zoloft pills, take ½ of the other 25mg pills you cut with the pill slicer. This gives you 37.5mg of Zoloft daily. Follow the instructions during week 2 if needed with supplements.

Week 4

Take (1) 25mg Zoloft pill. Cut another Zoloft pill in half and cut that half in half. Taking these two pill will total 31.75 Zoloft each day. Take like this for the next 7 days.

Week 5

Take the (1) 25mg Zoloft daily for the next 7 days.

Week 6

Cut the 25mg Zoloft in half. Take one half and cut it in half.

You will take the half Zoloft pill and (1) of the quarters.

This will give you 18.75mg of Zoloft and take like this for the next 7 days.

Week 7

Cut the 25mg Zoloft pill in half. Take the one half pill for the next 7 days.

This will give you 12.5mg of Zoloft and continue like this for the next 7 days.

Week 8

Cut the 25mg of Zoloft in half and then cut each half in half.

You will take (1) of the quarter pills each day for the next 7 days.

The amount of Zoloft you are now taking daily is 6.25mg.

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.
