Zoloft

Is it bad to stop taking Zoloft cold turkey? It really works for my anxiety, but I've been taking other meds and I'm afraid of interactions.

I take Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and Mobic.

Google "drug interactions checker" and put in your meds. And Paxilled is right, do NOT quit Zoloft cold turkey. Talk with your doc.

Don't stop it cold turkey.  And if it's working, do you have an alternative plan?  Have you improved in therapy?  Because if therapy didn't work and this is working you might want to talk to your psychiatrist about these interactions -- they are warned about but I don't believe they occur very often.  But if you are ready to quit meds for this or if you were never bad off enough to be put on them in the first place, stop this drug as slowly as you need to -- a slow taper is best tailored to you and not some generalized schedule.
