Effect Of Taking Antidepressants : Irrational Behavior While On Zoloft? by AceDomino(op): 10:37pm On Apr 07, 2017
Orange1214 Says:

I have a dear friend whose wife left him 2 months ago and is now taking Zoloft (not sure for how long). He mistakenly got off this medication too quickly and had a major withdrawal symptom during which he went completely homicidal/suicidal (he wanted to kill his wife and kill himself). He knew he was experiencing something deeply wrong so he called me to drive him urgently to the pharmacy to pick up his med. He apparently took Clonazepam to calm him down but it made him unable to drive. Once he got his med, he took it right away and felt semi-normal in the matter of 4 hours and "normal or stable" by the next few days. It really scared me for I have not encountered anything like this before personally.

He then proceeded to continue his irrational behaviors including madly falling in love with a woman he barely knows, asking me (a friend) to consider him and me as a couple in an event that I leave my husband. All of these things made me very uncomfortable and quiet frankly scared for my friend's mental/emotional state.

While I understand that break-ups are really hard and that antidepressant may help some people in getting over depression, I am deeply concerned that taking antidepressant may be doing something worse to my friend. Break ups are very hard and being in love is like taking another drug, too. I'm not sure what is causing my friend attributed the psychosis he experienced briefly as merely a withdraw from Zoloft. That's incredibly alarming but he thinks it's fine as long as he keeps taking his med. Now I look back, I could have been in danger!

its dopamine.
first it was too low when he missed his dose, then it was suddenly high again when he resumed the meds.

Welcome to the world of neuro-pharmacy.
