Stopping and starting of Zoloft!

[Anri_84]

Hi all!
I've been on zoloft 100mg for about a year. Then clever me decided to stop it.... I felt ok for about a week and then it was TERRIBLE! I had brain zaps/dizziness, anxiety, agitation excessive sweat exc.   So I started again immediately with 100mg, Ithe dizziness feels better but I still get brainzaps anxiety spiking at night    Is this Normal?  I'm so anxious about all of this!!! will NEVER STOP MY MEDS AGAIN! Any comments will b appreciated.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Any changes in medication should be done under a doctor's supervision.  Drugs like zoloft should be titrated down, the same way we gradually build up - in baby step changes in mgs.  I would definitely call your doctor.

I went off zoloft after 12 years or so, but I did go down in mgs slowly and then started a new one, I did have the funny head feelings but went away after a week or so, sorry you are going through it, it is not fun!!
