Watch out! My wife is off her zoloft. It's OK, though...my alcohol consumption is up.
 
i've had experience with people coming off of Zoloft. its perhaps one of the worse ones to deal with from what i've read. nausea and other physical symptoms do occur and hopefully are only temporary. the half life is about five days from what i remember, so after that its at least completely out of her symptoms. remember, this is for the best too, so be supportive.
 
She just ran out of her prescription a day or two ago. Half-life my ass. She's been on a tear. She needs a refill, and fast! I'm running out of beer.
 
Just lay low and stay out of the house as much as possible. Give her a wide berth and before you know it she will be as cuddly as a soft kitten. If not, give her your beer.
 
I honestly know how this is for the OP. My ex-girlfriend had prescription medication (not sure what she took) and one night she ran out and I was up with her the entire night. She was having a very rough time. Be supportive, help her through it. It isn't easy having to rely on such medications for mental health/depression.
 
Good stuff guys. I've been busy putting up gutters, making some rain barrels and improving the garden. Lots of work just outside the house!
 
I had to check "on a tear" I'd never heard the phrase before! I guessed what it meant, but needed to be sure.

So I guess there is no Pharmacy nearby?

Why not try to do something nice for her in an unobtrusive way? Make dinner, rent a movie, offer a massage?
 
Is this a situation where the doctor took her off of this medication, or she couldn't get a refill right away?

There is supposed to be a transition period, where one can step down the dose gradually to help alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. I am taking a very low dose for anxiety, so if I miss a day (which happened last week on the worst possible day), it's not so bad. Talk with the doctor as soon as possible, to make sure that she is getting the transition help that she needs...
