I made a list of mine:

Things that have SUBSTANTIALLY improved since my taper and being off of Zoloft:

Insomnia

Hypnic Jerks

Waking up shaking [mostly]

Floaters [Mostly]

Chest pain

Muscle Twitching [Mostly]

Wanting to be in bed all day

Concentration

Memory Issues [Mostly]

Derealization

Areas that NEED TO SEE MORE IMPROVEMENT:

Anhedonia

PSSD

Sinus Issues [Recently stopped Flonase because it wasn't working]

Getting Words Mumbled Up

There's not a whole lot that needs to be improved but if they were, it would be AMAZING. Even though anhedonia sucks, I am way better off than when I needed to sleep with an iPod in May because I wouldn't stop waking up without shaking and I would wake up 3-4 times a night.

8 weeks on Zoloft in total, including my 4 week taper, ending on May 20th, 2013. Still going through emotional and partially physical hell.

Feeling of being "different" than before the WD and before Paxil.Life is more difficult, everything is more difficult.

Severe anxiety since childhood .SSRIs for OCD.
Major traumatism in my life:Prozac during short periods.
