Yes. Withdrawal from Zoloft. I was on Zoloft for about 8 months, taking 150 mg by the end. It worked beautifully, don't get me wrong. But the weight gain was a surprise and a disappointment, though at the time I didn't care. The main side effect I experienced was what I call "rushes," which were unpleasant. I went from 150 mg to 100 to 50 and then stopped, but my doc suggested 25 mg for another week or so when I complained of the rushes. It was amazing how quickly my irritability shot up again when I started taking less Zoloft. I started crying in the bathroom again at work, and my doc suggested Prozac, which I'm on now. Can't wait to withdraw from that! Laura
