I got lazy and didn't request a refill of my Sertraline as soon as I should have. And then when I did request it my doctor didn't answer for a full weekend (I had to ask again) so I ran out.

But also during this same timeframe I've been dealing with recovering from yet another dental surgery so I was like I'll be in too much pain to even notice any withdrawal symptoms and hopefully I'd finally get the refill before it got bad.

Well.

3 or 4 days without a dose, I can get my refill tomorrow, but I've had withdrawal brain zaps for almost 2 days. Yayyyy...

#don't be like me kids. request a refill when you have like 5 doses left. not 2.#though honestly i don't know why my doctor didn't respond to my request on thursday and then he responded today #and now i'm like oh ok so if you'd answered me thursday my refill would have been ready friday and i'd avoid withdrawal #but instead i didn't get a response till a few hours after i followed up monday. and it was ready by the end of the day #(though i couldn't get to the pharmacy today before they closed) so i'll make my way over tomorrow #and yeah i could have avoided this withdrawal if 1) i reached out when i had more than 2 doses left. or 2) doctor answered me thursday.#and of course since the brain zaps started over 24 hours ago it's not going to go away until like 24 hours after i take my next dose #and i'm sad about that since i wanted to walk around tomorrow and it's hard to walk around when your brain is zapping constantly #with every small movement even slightly turning my head or taking a really really big breath
