help with zoloft

I've been taking zoloft for 6 months now for ppd. i started feeling like it wasn't helping me anymore, so i stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago. now I have depression worse than before and i have dizzy spells constantly. has anyone else had this happen to them?

There's your problem.  You need to taper slowly off these drugs to avoid withdrawal effects.  This could go away in a couple of weeks, but if you want to be safer, you can go back on it and taper off as slowly as you need to.

Did you go cold turkey? And which dosage were you on? I had nausea and dizziness last time I went off zoloft, even though I tapered off really slowly. Stopping all of a sudden can be dangerous.
