human
how long after zoloft does it take to get back to pre zoloft?  I tapered off, with the help of welbutrin for several weeks, that was about 3 months ago. I also tapered off the welbutrin. I have been using 5 hpt and st.johns wart since.  It helps somewhat, but I am still very emotional and sad. I refuse to go back on any of the ssri drugs and I find the clinical theraphy useless. After 7 years, a waste of time. I have bad days and would really like to get back to being me again.  Any help is welcome.

Hi,Thanks for using healthcare magic.I have gone through your available history. You have not mentioned the reason for opting out of SSRI treatment.5 hydoxy tryptane and st John warts are good add on antidepressant drug which are not yet approved as primary anti depressant drug by FDA. If you feel better with that you may continue with it.There are many other group of anti depressant drugs like selective nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitors, like desvenlafaxine or duloxetine etc or agomelatin like drugs acting on melatonin receptors. You may take this drug after consultation with your psychiatrist .Simultaneous to drug, you may go for counselling and psychotherapy. Meanwhile , you can do stress management and relaxation exercise like breathing exercise or yoga, meditation for better control over depression and stress.I hope It may help you.Thanks.
