      I'm thinking of you, AntsyTammi!  You are going to be ok!  Just remember, you're at the mercy of the chemical upset right now so don't believe any of it!  Just hang in there, and do a bunch of nice things for yourself.  Be kind to yourself.

    Be sure to wean veeeeery slowly. You'll have awful side effects if you don't. Over 17 years I've tried to get off Zoloft three time.  The last time successfully. From 50 mg I did 25 for three months, then 25 every other day for another three months.  This time I didn't have brain zaps when I completely stopped but did have acute anxiety for four months after. Now I am 100% fine,8 mo later. Hang in there. You'll make it. It just takes awhile.
