Don't take them now, take them in the morning. K? Don't worry.

Whew man. Zoloft is a bad motherfucker and you can't just "stop" taking it, my brother did and a few nights later he was more out of it than I have ever seen a person be a quite capable of hurting himself or others. Anxiety, depression, I'm familiar with Crestor.

I'd look at half life. That is how long the drug stays in your system, Zoloft is 24hrs for example, so for 24 hrs the medication is taking effect, after that period things get "hairy"

Bro I'd talk to a dr, shrink, and get second opinions on the meds your taking, I Rec a third opinion from a legit holistic specialist and some sort of clergy, wicken whatever. Hang in there.

I think I should be ok til morning. Just a few hours away, and I've been taking all these meds for a couple of months so they're in my system. Not like I'm gonna be more than 24 hours without any of em. Think I just went into panic mode for a few minutes there. Gonna hit the hay. Thanks netters.

call the pharmacist....always available these days and quite prepared to answer those and other questions

@flatbottomfrank I certainly appreciate that perspective. Way too many people get prescribed antidepressants who probably should not be given them. But after years - decades - of being plagued with intense depression, self-loathing, low self esteem, anxiety and paranoia, I can honestly say that I'm in a better place mentally right now than I have ever been in my entire life. I know all the pills are doing harm to my liver but I can't afford to go back to the state of mind I was in before. Changing my lifestyle, environment, career, and overall outlook on life is a longterm goal, and getting off meds will happen eventually, but I'm not in any rush.

I'm fine btw, took all my meds this morning like normal, and other than getting almost no sleep at all I feel fine. Wait -- a little gas... it's gone. I'm good. Love you all .net.

If it were me, I would take them as soon as I remember (that's what it says on most medication containers) however, waiting until tomorrow won't kill you either. You might lose a little bit of chemical balance but you'll be fine.

@ tmwsiy

Normally, I'd agree with you. But it sounds like he's been taking this medicine regularly for a while. Every now and then I forget a dose. I take it as soon as I remember and I never double up. It's ALWAYS fine. Forgetting a dose of SSRIs and related drugs for a day isn't really a reason to see a doctor. Now, two days - that's a different story.

I hope you can reach your goals. My wife is a PA who works with chronic pain patients who she helps to lower and in many cases remove them from prescription pain relief through yoga and variety of activity. You can do it. Remember we are all depressed, with low self esteem. I'm right there with you. The world is filled to the rim with problems. But, we are also all very special individuals who are filled with strength and powers (I'd say magical but that might sound a bit fruity). Anyway its just a matter of loving and discovering yourself.

Fuk pills.
Let me give you this pill.
But it causes this to happen.
In which case we will give you this pill.
But when those 2 pills are mixed it can make you feel bad.
So take this one too.
And so on...

This happened to my wife. Started with treating migraines and 10 years later she is on 6 or 7 Rx's with more problems than when she started, she eventually ended up tin the ER over drug-induced pancreatitis.

I helped her drop them all, then we went to a nutritionist who determined she had some food allergies causing the migraines. She changed her diet and is feeling better than ever...

I can tell that all the advice being given to @benevolution about getting off meds is well intentioned and it may also be well informed. It may even be right; I don't know, and the truth is that no one out here knows. I'm all in favor of a thoughtful discussion about the way that our culture (over)prescribes medications, and it would be a discussion that hits home for me, as someone in my extended family is on god-knows-what and I worry about her endlessly. But at the same time I think it's unwise and perhaps even hurtful to tell someone, whose symptoms and conditions we don't know, what the best treatment for them is. Again, I know that everyone is trying to help; this site has a big heart. But if therapists, psychiatrists, healers, spiritual guides, etc wouldn't tell someone on an internet forum what therapy/meds are appropriate, maybe we shouldn't either.

I found your response, @benevolution, inspiring. Good luck!!!

Um, call your Doctor?!? I guess a pharmacy would work too, but why would you not have called your Doctor in the first place? That's what they exist for. Or maybe your psychologist? Someone obviously prescribed you all the small pharmacy of drugs you're on, why would you not contact that person?

It was almost midnight when he posted, I am sure that was one of the reasons he tried .net and didn't call doc or pharmacy.
@benevolution - only you know what your quality of life is on and off these meds, so please feel confident about your decisions regarding them. I appreciate other folks' views on natural and holistic methods, but sometimes no mater how hard you try and how much you want something other than need to work, they just don't.
Glad all went well last night
Peace and joy to you.
