You are now completely off the Zoloft in 8 weeks. Keep taking all supplements for the next 45-days. If you feel too tired during the day and you are taking the Relax Day, you can reduce the frequency you take the supplement. If you are sleeping well but awake tired in the morning, reduce the amount of sleep supplement you are taking. If you begin to feel a little too alert during the daytime, reduce the JNK Capsules down to 2 or even 1 of the capsules in the morning. These supplements can be taken whether you are taking Zoloft or not. They are great for general health as well. Keep in mind which supplement helped with what symptom before or during the program and if the symptom ever comes up again for you in the future, just use that supplement again.
