Hello everyone...I was a little scared when I found that the original thread was blocked because it was too long but I'm glad to find all of you here. 
I hope you are all doing well.
I hope you are all doing well.I'm okay...trying to "be good" with the food and everything over the holidays. I'm trying not to weigh myself every day and I'm trying to be more active than normal. I really do have to get off Zoloft after the New Year starts. I've just got to get some of this weight off me. I'm trying to stay positive but I guess I'm having a really bad "how could anyone love me looking like this" day...
In any event, I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the holidays.
mekkie yes i did have negative thoughts but now i know none of them are true so its good i have been feeling really good latley !!!
snikersmom its so good to hear from you i hope everyone else finds us. dont worry you'll lose the weight
yea the mercury fillings cause panic depression anxiety among other things thats when i started getting sick directly after getting extensive dental work done. and as far as it falling out thats not good mercury can go all through your body
Hi everyone, been following the posts, haven't really had alot to add or comment about. The dental part is a bit confusing to me. I was a dental assistant years ago and what we learned in school is that now a days their is a very low amount of mercury in amalgam fillings, the premixed capsules they use for the amalgam fillings are low in mercury compared the old days. I truley think your fillings are safe and you can feel at ease about them.
Snickersmom its good to see that you also have found the site. Do you think you will try and go off meds completely or maybe try and find another medication? I really sometimes wonder if we jumped to soon by trying another med, but at the time it seemed the right thing to do. Its hard for me to really say of course because I'm not the one feeling the anxeity and the overwhelming feelings that my daughter would talk about, and the sudden mood swings. Since being on the wellbutrin xl they seem to be better agian, but of course the question is, could she of overcome this without the meds by waiting to see if this was all just part of the side effects of coming off the zoloft.
Happy holidays everyone to you and your feelings. By the way I did get the 3 Apple a day plan book and it is quite interesting. Check it out on the web if you havent yet. My daughter has only lost the what we think was the water weight, it seems that losing the kind of weight that a person gains from zoloft is kind of stubburn(as we all know). It is a wieght caused by the sugars and how they are broke down by the body.
Take care and the best to everyone and hope your all moving forward. 
That was suppose to say families not feelings, it must be getting late!!!
Hey guys. I found you!!!!!
Sorry it took so long, but i was out of town this weekend and all last week i had my final exams at school so i was really busy. But i actually went to see my best friend that lives 2 hours away from me. i have not seen her for about 3-4 months and when i saw her she said that i have lost some weight in my face. Then she showed me pictures from the previous time i was visiting her and I really looked swollen in the pics. and i can kind of see a difference, but i still feel fatter now that i have come off the meds. i mean the last time i weighed myself i hadn't gained any weight and my weight is stabilizing, but i have not weighed myself for a week. i will have to go and do that one day this week. But other than the weight i have been feeling really good and have not been experiencing any withdrawls for the most part. So i am happy about that. i have also decided to try the weight watchers diet after the first of the year and i have already gone out and bought the book, so i am ready!!!! i figure i should help boost my metabolism and get the this whole "getting back to normal" thing moving a little faster.
Anyway enough abbout me, how are all of you getting along? Nivram....did you ever go to the Dietition yet? what happend? Mekkie and Jaymay....how are the withdrawls treating you these days? hope to hear from you soon!!!!
hey you guys so good to hear from all of you. i feel so good its not even funny i have been working long days with no problem going out no problem. i feel so great !! Glad to hear everyone else is doing good thats what it seems like.
did everyone finish shopping for x-mas?
