Is this normal?
Hi again everyone,
As I am now going through withdrawal (well, actually more of a crash!), I am having the same adverse effects that I had when I went on Zoloft...particularly feelings of dread/terror. Is it normal to re-experience these adverse effects as you withdraw? Thanks!

Re: Is this normal?
Sadly, yes. Actually, it's very common during w/d.
