Well, it took her years to get off... but slow and steady decreases to the antidepressant sertraline (Zoloft) and Honey is done with it. She was down to just a small crumb of a daily dosage (down from 50mg/day to last dose before discontinuing at about 1mg/day (estimate).
Her last dose of "poison" was over 2 weeks ago. No zaps, dizziness, nightmares. No anxiety, sleeplessness. She seems to feel her concentration has not changed negatively, no panic attacks. It is a feeling for me like she has escaped from something horrible.
Honey is now a 19 year old woman. Busy with a part time job and being a college student. Busy with friends and spending time doing things she enjoys. She is a great friend, a super student and looks forward to the rest of her life.
