How long did it take you to withdraw from Zoloft?

Posted , 2 users are following.

i stopped taking zoloft over a month ago and switched to a different antidepressant!

i have a thick head, feel nauseous, get a bit of brain zaps and feel super tired!

the new antidepressant i guess is helping with the withdrawals!

but what im wanting to know from all of you that used sertraline for a year or more (100mg) how long did the withdrawals last?

    hi kahla, i switched from 100 sertraline due to weight gain after a year to low dose 20 mg prozac, which ive been ok on for 8 mths but anxiety is back! i didnt really have any ill effects from switching. but need to up the prozac or swap back to zoloft.

      my weight gain is horrendous! ive stacked on over 20 kilos since being on the zoloft so im hoping i start losing some weight soon!

      i know, such a shame as it worked well for me apart from the weight gain. Hopefully you'll start to lose it gradually now you've swapped.
