3rd Zoloft Update - 5,967mg
March 1, 2026··
taper update
Without major changes. I don’t want to flood the forum with my posts, but for now I’m holding up.
I think I’m in a moderate window where I feel more stable, though prepared for possible waves of symptoms.
You can’t lose determination just because low serotonin makes you believe everything is collapsing.
I usually do an exercise where I list the problems I perceive as fatal in a spreadsheet, with sections for "cause?" "fear?" "manageable?" and "next steps?" That way I Very often, this exercise shows me that they’re just fears amplified by the dip.
I imagine that when I finally get through this, it will make me stronger.

"I don’t want to flood the forum with my posts" — @BettobenI Strongly disagree. Please continue to provide as many checkins as you can. Daily is fantastic. The ideology behind the checkins was to have something that other can see and interact with. Maybe ill add a filter for check ins and regular posts soon so viewers can choose what they want to see. In fact you are in the lead for taper tracker of the month, and could win a badge for your avatar
