I just wanted some feedback on going from say 100mg of Zoloft to 50mg. I have been taking it for 10 years. is going down 50mg too much of a drop??

I am scared because years before this I took Zoloft for about 3 years and I withdrew myself without telling doctor but i did it very gradually. I probably took almost a year to withdraw and the effects were awful! I told myself I would NEVER take any antidepressants ever again!!! i had the head zaps, not feeling good in general, bad dreams at night, etc. These symptoms continued months after completely stopping the drug.

I started taking it again due to circumstances in my life and it scares me of trying to withdraw after being on for ten years! sometimes I skip a dose for a day and the next day after the skip I notice the brain stuff.

I have taken 50mg the past 3 days in a row and so far have not noticed anything?? which is weird. maybe a headache

I need to go off to get my life in order. my life has not gone anywhere in ten years and I think its because of the drug. I was married when I was on it years ago and as soon as I stopped taking it I filed for divorce (a good thing!!) I think the drug makes me stay in bad situations and make bad decisions. I took it mainly to control anger outbursts (which still scare me). I also want to stop taking it now that I am more sexually active and it is causing problems!!

help?
