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.)

This probably doesn't count

When I went off the stuff, I was moving onto another antidepressant. That means that at first, I was taking Zoloft with a small dose of the other stuff, then tapering off the Zoloft and slowly increasing the other antidepressant. Sadly, neither Zoloft nor the other antidepressant really worked properly. It took some months before my doc and I hit on the right medication, which was another class of drug altogether.
