How long does ssri discontinuation symptoms last? stopped cold turkey ( bad i know) fromm zoloft (sertraline) 200mg once a day??

Abrupt stopping meds: it is never wise to stop a medication abruptly. Side effects and discontinuation symptoms (drug company buzz for withdrawal symptoms) are always present. Should be done under your physician's supervision and should be tapered off and not abrupt
