A member asked:

What side effects would you experience if you suddenly stop taking zoloft (sertraline)?

Withdrawal symptoms: Not sure how much (dosage) and how long you have been using it, but i would recommend consult doc first before stopping--weaning can minimize withdrawal symptoms which can be: irritable/shakiness, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, headaches, sweating, insomnia, dizziness, blurry vision etc... These symptoms won't kill you, but can be quite uncomfortable. Consult doc. Good luck.

Zoloft (sertraline) withdrawal: First of all, never do this without the permission of your prescribing physician. You don't list your dose, but it should generally be tapered if it is going to be stopped and then with zoloft (sertraline) the chance is less than 2 percent. It consists of symptoms that are flu like with occasional dizziness, unsteadiness, electric shock-like sensations, and headache. Psychcentral.Com/lib/ssri-discontinuation..
