I have fibromyalgia and would like to try a detox fast. Should I keep taking medications?

I have been taking Zoloft and doing well on it, I don't really have any interest in going off of it, but taking chemical meds kind of defeats the purpose of detox, doesn't it? I can't find any info on this.

It's a personal decision. You will still see benefits from the detox, even if you keep taking it.

While it seems like there is only bad news in regards to fibromyalgia, at least patients can be comforted by the fact that the disease does not progress and isn鈥檛 fatal. Everyday more research is done to find more effective ways to relieve pain and correct the sleep and chronic fatigue problems associated with this disorder. By working closely with their doctor, fibromyalgia patients can often find a treatment plan that is effective with this disease. With patience and understanding the life of a fibromyalgia patient can be comfortable and normal. In the meantime, hard work is being done to understand it everyday.

The detox is all reality will do next to nothing, but going off of the pills could hurt you. Certain meds, like Zoloft, need to be tapered off. Stopping the meds all at once could really hurt you. If you really want to try a detox talk with your doctor

Opus is right. Your body removes whichever toxins it needs to naturally.

Don't waste your life on this brainless drivel.

"Detox" is just silly nonsense, and has never been shown to have any benefit.

if you want to do it-you need to ween off teh Zoloft first-don't just stop-could make you jittery
