cleolindaI'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.)

Date: 2008-07-11 07:29 pm (UTC)I was on Zoloft for about 3 months and it helped the anxiety, but I didn't like it because it made me feel nothing. And I'd rather feel bad things than nothing at all. (Anxiety was the result of a divorce and separation from my then-3 year old son - those things settled down.)
So I quit it cold turkey and that was a big mistake. I had horrible mood swings, lashing out to the point of almost violence. So I quickly started taking it again and slowly weened myself off over about 6 weeks and was fine that way.
