Zoloft/forgetfulness

I went from 50 mg. to 100 mg. of Zoloft about 6 months ago.  When I started to be more forgetful I simply thought, "oh, I forgot," and dismissed it.  But now I'm losing keys, glasses, all sorts of things on a pretty regular basis.  I'm wondering if I should wean myself back to 50 mg.
Any thoughts?

Jessica is giving you some good advice, but going down to 50mg is not the same as going off it altogether, and you should have no withdrawals, and it would be a good experiment to see whether zoloft is the cause of the forgetfulness..it certainly could be.

I wouldn't do anything till you talk with your doctor.  I just went off Zoloft and its nothing to fool around with.
