I am finally going to end my Zoloft. I have been on it since the first week of January, and I feel i am ready to say goodbye to the drug. Its going to be weird only taking one pill a day, I wish I could cut that one out too; but that is my synthroid for my underactive thyroid. I am happy to say I dont have a "drug cocktail" anymore.

I finished taking my zoloft exactly 9 months after I started taking it, my doc told me to stay on it for 9 months and she said " as long as you have no 'episodes' you can stop taking it. So I did because I hate taking pills that deal with your brain,especially the side effects it can have.
I was lucky and I had no episodes, I slowly weaned myself off it and had a little bit of a weird feeling especially when I turned my head to look behind me, I took it as a withdrawl symptom because after a month it was gone. So good for your for not neeeded it anymore! |

I've been off that med for a few months now. I'm glad of it too.
I take herbal remedies now . I don't do drugs that play with the brain. |

Good luck!
 I find too that the negative effects of SSRI's outweigh the benefits!

I'm a Zoloft survivor. I was on it for 2 years. I had to continually increase the dosage until my body said 'enough!' and rejected it altogether.

well done
  i guess the idea of cutting down gently is so the withdrawel is reduced. Ive just upped my zoloft to 100mg and am getting horrible night sweats, is not fun. kind of wish i wasnt taking it either. good luck

Okay well so far I am fine, and i am more exstatic than anything about getting off another med. No trouble with any side effects so far.

I wouldnt stop taking it before it even has a chance to start. be patient. UPDATE: I am still free of my zoloft, and i havent needed a xanax in who-knows how long! I don't even know where the pill bottle is! I feel great, and Im glad it was easy to wean off for me.
