> What are the withdrawal effects of Zoloft?
Roy - Withdrawl effects include anxiety, nervousness, some sweating, and perhaps even a general malaise. These are generally mild in nature and are seen with the longer acting Prozac, more so than with Zoloft. I haven't seen many withdrawl effects since we started weaning people from the drug (gradually reducing the dose over a 2 to 4 week period). We only use the four week weaning in people who have been taking high dose SSRIs (esp. Prozac) for more than 2 years and this is probably being overly cautious. It has been my experience that even without weaning the withdrawl effects are generally mild and last usually no more than a week. Anyone else out there experience other effects? - Cam W.
