If I were you, I would do the pre-cleanse Liver Flushing since the liver specifically stores toxins that the prescription drugs leave behind which is why so many of them will say, if you have liver problems, this is not for you, because it is so hard on your liver.

If you are going to go cold turkey too the stress of that will be too much to handle and do The Master Cleanse at the same time. I am not familiar with the drug you are using but sure would recommend researching withdrawal symptoms so you know what to expect.

Yes, the "clarity" you speak of during Master-Cleanse fastingmay heighten the withdrawal symptoms and coming off the drug is a major thing in itself. Again, the Liver Flushing may be your best option and then later the Master-Cleanse would still be here for you and more appropriate then.

I wish you well and the best in your endeavor.

Be happy, be well,

Hi, this one tugged at my heart. I was on Zoloft for nearly five years, at one point I missed a day of meds and as you said it was disastrous. I determined that day that I need to be free of them (SSRI) if I could. I weaned off them and began to eat better (this was well before I had ever heard of MC).

If you have 5 left this will still work. First day break one pill in half and take half, next day same thing. Third day try 1/4 of the pill if you can, then try to do a second day each time you reduce the dose, do this until you are literally taking a slight shaving of the pill, cold turkey is VERY VERY dangerous for your emotional health and quite literally your life. Have some support around you (someone who knows your situation that you can trust) this could be rough and you need to stay as positive as possible.

Now for the rest of my story, I proceeded for roughly 9 months off the SSRI and was doing okay, not great, still a bit down but managable (though I didnt like having to work so hard to stay or get into a decent mood.

11 days ago I started Master-Cleanse and "Thank God" I feel better than I ever have, much better than I did before the SSRI and even better than I did on them at the best of times.

You will get great input in here on the Master-Cleanse so take it to heart and see it through you will definitely benefit. As for the meds BE CAREFUL, and FIGHT HARD to stay positive, it will pass but not overnight.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON COMING OFF SSRI I will answer if I can, You CAN do this!!!!
