Had to cut Zoloft cold turkey due to insurance/doctor complications. Feel absolutely awful 24/7. Anybody who went through this have any advice?

L theanine can be used as instead and it is OTC.

Can you continue using Zoloft without using insurance? Sertraline is Zoloft’s generic, and using a GoodRx card (free online) a 30 day supply is less than $15. I’m not sure if your issues are actually doctor related versus insurance related, but if they’re insurance related and you have refills left or access to a doctor to write a prescription, I thought this might help. SSRI withdrawal can be severe - beyond the physical effects, it can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Wishing you well, OP!

Please do NOT go cold turkey off SSRIs. That can cause permanent health complications

I highly recommend trying to find away around this because you will have adverse effects

I get that everyone's situation is different, but I'm pretty sure they pay us enough in PA to afford health insurance/co-pays. Will Teladoc or similar write SSRI scrips? Might be worth looking into...but if insurance won't cover the drug, should be relatively cheap with GoodRX. SSRI withdrawal is no fun and I wish you all the best!

5HTP is OTC too.. I switched to that

But don’t take it along with SSRI’s !!

Takes about two weeks before the zaps ease. Multivitamins and plenty of water help and an nsaid like Advil or Aleve will help with the headaches.

There are low cost generics for many antidepressants. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself. May just need a different med. I cycled they several until I found one that really helped.
