hi all i have been 9days off zoloft cold turkey i have had dizziness,nausea,and a few other symptoms but i am so proud of myself i feel much happier and able to function alot more even my family have noticed the difference after taking zoloft for 20 odd years i am looking forward to a drug free life...
Everyone can react differently to a antidepressant withdrawal.
-brain zaps
-depression
-anxiety
-panic attacks
-agitation
-irritability
-mood swings
-changes in blood pressure/heart rate
-muscle tensions
-aches and pains
I could name some other too but you get the picture that you should slowly tapper the medication to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms and do it on the supervision of a physician. The symptoms and the severity of those is relative to your brain chemistry and how long you've been on the drug. Zoloft is not linked with a lot of severe withdrawals like Paxil or Effexor. Good news for you.
