Mental health question

[cleolinda]

I'm curious--I'll get to what set off this train of thought later, but I know a number of people have talked about how they don't or didn't like Zoloft. For those of you who took it for a while and then went through the process of getting off it, what was that like? I'm thinking about transitioning off it entirely, and I'm curious about what kind of side effects that might involve. (Again, there's more to this that I'll get into later.)

I'm on Setraline, which is the same as Zoloft. I've been on it before, and I had a really difficult time getting off it, but then again I did it myself, without the help of a doctor. I tried cold turkey but I got the shakes, dizziness and raised heart beat, and whenever I got like that, I would take a pill. I think it took me about four months to finally kick it.

I want to get off it again, but I'm not ready to do it yet. This time I want to do it properly, though.
