I have been taking it for seven years now, started off at 200mg then went to 100mg daily. for the last month ive been on 50mg then 25mg then i stopped, the side effects are F----ing intense and just a nightmare, ive tried to give up before on several occasions but had to get back on it because i couldnt go about my daily routines such as work, im not working at the moment but start a new job next week, looks like ill be back on the zoloft again!! Ive read numerous forums on this and everyone experiences the same thing. Ive spoken to numerous GPs about it and they seem suprised, what the f--- is going on, i cant even concentrate on this anymore.
