I have been used setraline 25mg for 2 years without aware the side effects to quit it,  my doctor never told me that you have been treated with Sertraline drug.  So after a month to quit it ,  I have been suffred with a panic attack than doctor prescribed me chlonozepam 50 mg that drug I took for approx 2 years.

Then doctor akesd me to quit it by reducing the dose. I have been quit it and now I am taking 50 mg setraline. How long I can take it? Can I take it without consulting to the doctor repeatedly.

    I've heard people taking Zoloft for 15+ years. If your not weaning or upping the dosage you only need to speak to your Dr when u need a refill once rx is expired.

    If u don't need it then I wouldn't take it.

      My doctor said its the safest ad to be on and I could be on it life long if I need to.

      I would consult with your Physician. I had no motivation to do anything while taking Z but I think it was part of my depression as well.
