Taking 12.5 mg zoloft (sertraline) for 16 days...how do i taper off of it?

Ask your doctor: 12.5 mg of Zoloft (sertraline) is a really small dose already, so I'm guessing that maybe your doctor wanted to start you on a low dose and gradually adjust it as needed to control your symptoms. You should never ask a friend or look on the internet (even if it's a MD you're talking to) when it comes to discontinuing medication. It is important that you keep your doctor in the loop in regards to meds!
