Did you just quite taking the Zoloft cold turkey?  You can definitely have withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing an SSRI like Zoloft too quickly.  Also, don't adjust your medication without the advice of your doctor as well.  In my opinion, it was obviously working.  Many people stop taking it because they are feeling normal; remember that they are designed to help you feel 'normal.'

Answer is YES, anxiety makes you feel ike those. Depression does aswell.

Hello there,

Depersonalization is a common anxiety symptom. You should try to talk to your doctor again on this issue. If you need any suggestions for a more natural approach that might be good for you just send me a private message and i will give you all the suggestions you need.
