Zoloft - coming off

[Jodster07]

I've been on Zoloft for 15 months and upon consultation with my doctor we decided that I would take half a tablet for 6 weeks.  If there was no change, then I would go off them.  I've been off them for 2 days now and I'm feeling slightly lightheaded and dizzy at times.  is this a result of coming off them?  how long does it last?

I've been off of Zoloft for almost 2 weeks. I'm still pretty dizzy and lightheaded but overall I'm starting to feel better. My research tells me that withdrawal only lasts 1-3 weeks.

sounds about right.  but see if you can wean off even more slowly.  you may get zappy feelings in your head btw.  they go away.  a quarter tab for a time might help also.
