I believe i was on 150mg and it took me about 4 months to wean off. Im guessing, because i forgot the exact date i started to wean off. I've been more concerned with how long i was on the Zoloft to gain all that weight. Im glad it's coming off now, but I've got back the anxiety and depression. Weight is an issue for me though, so i dont know if ill ever go back on mental health medications. :/

Thank you, gk. I appreciate your post. Zoloft was the first psych med I was on that caused me to gain some weight. About 20 lbs. Nothing like the weight gain of Seroquel, but very odd for me. It also caused my blood pressure to rise. Way back, though, it did help my depression a lot. Now, I'm not sure it does much, if anything. It does cause motion problems...a sense of imbalance.
4 months sounds about right. I'm so sorry your symptoms have returned, though. I cannot comprehend why researchers don't invent psych meds that don't cause weight gain. Med compliance would soar, if not for the weight issue.
