1st Zoloft Update - 6,033mg
taper update
Daily cut: 0.03mg/day
Symptoms:
>Neurological:
Brain zaps (In my case, they're bearable because I already know them well.)
>Mood:
Anhedonia
Irritability / agitation (Literally everything seems like a threat)
Anxiety (important: is it existential/mental or physical/body-based?)
>Physical:
Vagal hits (PVC? of the things that terrify me the most)
When I've been walking for a while, I feel needles in my head and shoulders (histamine?)
I can play with my pets, but once the game is over I can't stop the activation of my nervous system; the same thing happens when I try to exercise (lack of serotonergic response?). I feel a kind of discomfort, a blockage in my chest, which the activation is unable to reduce; neither breathing nor sitting helps. I have to lie down on the floor and try to make certain movements, and I manage to reduce the tension.
>Energy / Motivation:
Drive / ability to initiate tasks (1–10)
fear of activation
Overall: Stable. No sharp withdrawal waves right now.
PAWS is still very much part of the picture. What I’m feeling seems more like neurological readjustment than relapse. I’ve been reading through SA.org and TaperCommunity to plan the endgame more carefully.
This pace feels sustainable down to around 3mg. Once I get there, I’ll likely slow it down (0,015?)
