I'm out of klonopin and zoloft and having withdrawal. I've been a serious uptight b***h all day. I've been withdrawing for four days now. I had to call my aunt to even get money to pay for my medications. She'll put money in the bank tomorrow.

I called the on-call dr and he told me to take more propanolol, like a triple dose. I did that and I'm going to try to get some sleep.

My biggest b***h is that I've been calling for 2 days requesting these prescriptions. They keep telling me they're "on the dr's desk." They also say they'll call me back by the end of the day, but they haven't, twice.

Serotonin Withdrawal Syndrome can cause flu-like symptoms, moodiness (which i don't need, being bipolar!) and "shocks" of weird feelings. The on-call doc said he'd never seen it with zoloft, but the internet says it can happen.

I'm really pissed!

I could hook you up if you lived nearby, but I guess that isn't possible. I hope the propranolol works for you, because I know what withdrawal is like. It sucks. I hope you get some sleep, and I hope eveything works out for you tomorrow. :)

Your drug store couldn't give you a few pills to hold you over for a few days, that sucks, zoloft withdrawal really sucks.

Yeah I'm on Klonopin for my tremors.

I've had withdrawals from both antidepressants and klonopin and klonopin IMO is the worst thing to have withdrawals from. It causes shakiness and sometimes other involuntary movements in the body.

Sounds like they're not doing anything about it.

Have you contacted your doctor?

After this detrimental experience, I would see to it to find a better outlet that deems promising or has a good rep for none of this s**t.

Yes, that's bad service. 'On the Dr's desk' isn't much help to you :roll:

When you get your presciption could you put a few days worth of meds away somewhere, a kind of emergency supply so you've always got some for if this happens again? I started doing this when I had trouble getting a prescription once, and of course, it's always seems to be a weekend when you run out of them.

When I started to withdraw from Celexa (another SSRI) once I got brain zaps, moodiness/bitchiness and black holes in my head. And that was only after one or two days off it. I can't imagine four days off the medication when you still need it.

It was. And I was withdrawing WITH the klonopin withdrawal too. Now, I'm withdrawing from cigarettes. REALLY sucks!

I don't have money yet to refill my klonopin. So, I'm taking BF's klonopin and he's given me all he can.

This scenario should change by tomorrow. I'll have money coming in.
