If i were to drop cold turkey off of 100mg zoloft and a constantly wavering amount of k-pins (i go by the "take as needed" philosophy;)) when will the withdrawal kick in and how bad will it be? i don't take a fuckload of k-pin, usually just around .75mg to 2mg.

I'm doing this because i know for a fact the k-pins and zoloft will decrease the effects of the cid im getting so when i'm done ill just go straight back to the pills the next day. i know benzo withdrawal is bad but it's not that bad at this dosage right?


btw it's been one day and i only took 50mg zoloft and zero of the kpin this morn. and i feel weird. like im tweaking.

sounds potentially dangerous to discontinue the benzo. The zoloft i dont know?

Zoloft is your biggest problem, actually, not benzo's. At ~2mg/day of benzo, you might get anxty, maybe some minor withdrawl effects, but nothing too bad that won't go away in a day or two. Zoloft, OTOH, discontinuation, especially on such a high dose, will cause SSRI DISCONTINUATION SYNDROME. Look that one up. Long story short, you're likely to get crazy/moodswingy/reckless/suicidal. Not stuff you want to happen if you're trippin' on 'cid or withdrawing from benzos. My condolences. There's a reason I religiously opposed to SSRIs.

Even if you stop taking the SSRI now your LSD experience is still going to be dulled. Trust me, I speak from experience; I've taken month-long breaks from SSRIs in the past in order to have a proper LSD experience and every single time the trip was very lackluster, even when the acid in question was of high quality and the other people with me who ate it too had an incredible time.

Benzos won't really dull that much of a trip, in my opinion. If anything, I think a low, therapeutic dose actually provides for a more enjoyable trip if you're someone of a high-strung disposition. Other times when I wasn't on SSRIs but I was on benzos and ate acid then, I would eat a smallish benzo dose a bit beforehand and still have a great time.

Also, how long have you been taking the Klonopin, and when you say ".75 to 2 mg", is that in a dose, or in a day? Me being unsure whether you're taking .75 mg of Klonopin a day with one dose or 4 mg over two doses makes it somewhat difficult for me to form a helpful opinion as far as withdrawal symptoms go.

Some advice: Take B-Complex. The B vitamins will help sustain your brain's current levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (the depletion of which is the cause of SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome). In addition, I would also decrease your daily intake gradually (maybe a 2-3 week period?) I wish you luck and success, man.

I cut off both of them. So far I think I'm doing pretty good.
Withdrawal effects aren't too bad so far.

-freezing my ass off (plus the weather is cold so it must just be that)
-headaches here and there, mostly at night
-sleepy a lot (weird)
-OCD-like crap going on
-quick to anger! woohoo
-that's pretty much it.

Also i am extremely depressed but neither medications help this anyway, i am just a very depressed person in general.

I'll keep you guys updated.
