Getting off Zoloft

[micohe11]

Been on Zoloft only a couple of weeks now 1 week at 50mg and the other at 100mg. My Dr. is taking me off of it because of the terrible shaking inside of me tot he point where I cant function. I am back down to 50mg a day. How bad will my withdrawl be?  I was on lexapro for 3 years prior to the Zoloft until it stopped working but they never weined me off of it just put straight onto Zoloft.

My Dr started me on Zoloft after a few short days I experienced the worst anxiety and panic I had ever in the past, I even had suicidal thoughts, I called my niece who is a nurse and she told me to stop taking it at once, I did and felt better as early as the next day. After doing some research I found that quite a few people had bad reactions. Hang in there once you get off Im sure you will feel better, God Bless!!!

I was on zoloft for a year, 200 mg. Just got off it 5 weeks ago.  It was hard the first week. (aweful headaches, mood swings, everything tasting gross). After  weeks the withdrawals started going away. I'm starting to feel better. No shakey hands!!!!! It was def worth it! Just remember that once you quite and you are experiencing withdrawals...it will get better. Alot better!

I was only on Zoloft for a few weeks but I had horrible side effects so I stopped cold turkey. I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms.
