zoloft withdrawl or orthostatic intolerance? Posted: 03-10-08 13:42pm


hey everyone! i was put on zoloft 50 mg and klonopin .5 mg a few weeks ago. a week ago my doc decided to change it up and he took me off the zoloft and lowered my klonopin to .25 mg before bed. i feel so nauseous, hot/cold flashes, headaches, but the worst is i feel so dizzy. i cant walk straight and constantly feel like im floating. My doc says im having withdrawal symptoms but i was only on the zoloft for 12 days before i was taken off. its been a week and im getting worse. Still feeling anxious too. I'm worried that its something else. i've been doing some research. does anyone know anything about orthostatic intolerance aka POTS? I have all of the symptons so its got me thinking...im becoming a hypocondriac!

dont think its the zoloft Posted: 04-17-08 19:01pm


i have been on Zoloft at 3 different times for around 2 and 3 months each time. I went up to 100mg and what i did i just cut down the dosage each day, 100 then 50 then 25mg and its been fine each time. Dont know anything about POTS but will look into it, also id suggest go back to your doctor. Ive also taken klonopin here and there in the past, only one a day and it didnt have any after or side-effects.
