Thanks.  I looked it up and it looks promising.  Presently I’m about 2 weeks into the withdrawal phase after a long weaning off of Zoloft.  I tapered down to nothing over about a 3 month period and have been completely off for about 2 weeks now.  I’m still having a lot of dizziness and zaps and paranoia–I understand this can go on for about 8 weeks?  I am *not* going back on that stuff! 5htp has been helping but am looking for something long term.  I guess I have sort of a mix of anxiety/depression, post traumatic stress, and ocd from major surgery in the past.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
