[QUOTE="zak88lx, post: 16594632, member: 74415"] Ok, guys without getting into too much detail I have been sick since the end of November with what started off as a nagging cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and the feeling of fluid in my lungs. After a month of this I went on heavy antibiotics with no resolve, so I finally went into urgent care in early January as they thought it could be COVID. I was tested with the Nasopharyngeal swab (brain tickler) and the result came back negative, so they put me on an oral steroid (Prednisone) which I thought was working, but a few days after taking the last pill all symptoms returned. I can no longer sleep in a horizontal position (bed), as I can't breathe and my lungs feel like like they are filling up with fluid throughout the night, and by morning I am coughing up phlegm for hours and my breathing and wheezing get significantly worse, so I have been sleeping in a chair for the last two months which has brought on new symptoms including, insomnia, night sweats, cold chills, itching, anxiety and depression. The Doctor prescribed an SSRI anti-depressant named Zoloft (Sertraline) in 25 mg pill form to help deal with the chair sleeping which I reluctantly took every 24 hours, but I did not react well to the drug with feelings of full-body numbness, feeling stoned, heavy headedness, extreme ear and sinus pressure and increased anxiety, so I stopped taking it cold turkey after 5 straight days and told my Doc that it was not for me. I took my first 25 mg pill on Monday the 8th at Midnight, and took my last pill on Friday the 12th at Midnight (125 mg total). I am still getting waves of the drugged feeling every afternoon, and I am trying to determine when this ****ing drug will be completely out of my system. The mean half-life for Zoloft is 26 hours so that is what I have been using for my calculations. At first I believe I was doing the calculations wrong as I only accounted for when I took my final pill (25 mg) on last Friday and calculated the half-life from that, but I don't think that is correct as the pills would have a cumulative effect which would change the total amount of drug in my system for proper half-life calculation. Can someone please run the formula and try to determine when this drug should be out of my system? Took one 25 mg pill every 24 hours for 5 straight days for a total of 125 mg. Every 26 hours the cumulative amount of Zoloft in my system would half-life (50%). Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
