I am sorry that you are having problems with the Zoloft.  Different medications effect people differently.  I actually prefer Zoloft while others do not.  Remember with these types of medications, in my experience, they can actually raise your anxiety in the beginning and cause unpleasant side effects.  They usually take about a month or so for anyone to start feeling the benefits.

However, if you are suffering from side effects go talk to your prescribing doctor and express your concerns to figure out a different angle of treatment if warranted.  Again, just don't do this on your own.

Just please ensure you talk to your doctor...it is never a good idea to self medicate or adjust dosage on your own.  Why have you decided to stop taking Zoloft?
