Zoloft

[jimmyd1978]

For the past few months I have been starting and stopping 50mg of Zoloft (stupid I know) A few days I had a horrible relapse of anxiety and have since started the 50mg again. Have I done damage to my brain by starting and stopping all the time? This time I plan on staying on Zoloft for at least 6 months before stopping. Thanks

I have been taking 100mg Zoloft since November for Anxiety.  In general I have been feeling much better and have slowly started to taper off.  For two weeks I reduced to 50mg, then for two weeks I reduced to 25mg.  Now I cut my 25mg in half.  I have been producing saliva like made, it has been waking me up the past few nights and I have wanted to vomit.  I have slowly fallen back to sleep.  I was wondering if this could be a withdrawal symptom, or if it is something I need to see my doctor about.  Thanks for any help.

No you have not done damage to your brain, and you are right to either stay on Zoloft for a while or get off and work through your anxiety by using your strong intelligent mind to get a perspective on what is bothering you.
