I’m was on 100mg Zoloft for around a year. It never worked great but I didn’t want to keep trying new medications at the time. Now I want to get off. I’m also on Adderall for adhd and my dr recommends adding Wellbutrin for other reasons but said to be on it for 2 weeks before tapering my Zoloft.

Anyway, that’s all just additional information if it’s needed. My real question is, has anyone been recommended to tapper fast? I’m not sure if it’s because of adding Wellbutrin but my dr recommended going from 100mg to 50mg for 1-2 weeks. Then 50mg to 25 for 1-2 weeks. Then 25mg to 0. That just seems really fast compared to the slow tappers I see on this sub. Anyone try it this fast? How was it?

I love my son but sometimes I just don’t feel it. He was a perfect angel until age 2, after that, all hell broke loose. 3 was way worse. He will be 4 next month and it doesn’t seem like it will get better anytime soon. He’s just…mean. He throwing things. Hits me and his sister. Yells. Absolutely will not listen to me if he wants to do something and I ask him not to. Will flat out just ignore me. I know some techniques to get him to do certain things like put on pjs but sometimes I just don’t have the energy. I feel like I have to use my customer service voice with him and I can’t keep it up constantly.

My husband works long hours but tries his best to help with the kids when he’s here. We have different parenting styles though. He thinks I’m being too gentle with him. I disagree. I use time outs and taking stuff away but it doesn’t work. It gets worse. He responds better with positive reinforcement and redirecting but it’s a constant energy drain to do that with 2 kids. My house is a mess. I’m a mess. I have no time to do things throughout the day because of the constant needs. I hate this.

I’m just burnt out. I feel like no matter how many breaks I get or how much away time to go out, it’s just not enough to recharge me. It’s like I’m permanently on E.

Anyway, glad I found a sub I can rant it. Hope
Everyone had a good Mother’s Day.
