Have been on Zoloft (and more recently, generic zoloft equivalent) for years now.
Going off it is hard (for me). And hard to describe. For me, the main symptom is these weird "head rushes" that stick around for 10 days or so. It feels kind of like a rush of tingles going up the back of my head... but it's inside my head, too. There's a cottony sort of feeling, like I'm experiencing things from a good three feet farther away than I actually am. Makes it hard to keep up with conversations. Or drive.
Hard to describe... the only person I ever found who understood what I was trying to describe was someone who'd been on zoloft and gone off it. :(
(Going back on is much easier, I only really experience the loss of appetite for 2 weeks or so. I call it the "zoloft diet" har har.)
