Coming off 'Zoloft' antidepressant...side effects!!?!
Question: Hi, i have been on zoloft from about a year and i have just been weaning myself off them, i did as the doctor said i went from 100mg to 50mg and so on...
I have been having 'withdrawls' from coming off the drug it's been a week now i've been off them and i've been having these like head 'zaps' they call them it's hard to explain but when you look from one place to another you get like a weird 'zap' in your head and body...
I would like to know whether anyone else has experienced this??? And how long it took for the side effects to go away?

You should have started cutting this down to every other day. Then every 2 days and so on. This should have been done over a 2 to 4 week period. This would have helped quite a bit better than just stopping one day. Even after you had cut the daily intake. Doing it this way would have made withdrawal symptoms very minimal or not even there.
it prob takes 2-4 weeks a lot of anti- deprssants are like that just be careful and if you feel worse call the MD
