Zoloft (sertraline): Need to discuss with prescibing physician obviously taking for a reason. If having a problem respect your physician and inform him of problems for both advice and alternative.

Can probably stop: Generally medications need to be tapered off in order to avoid withdrawal. You should always check with your doctor about stopping your medication. That said - if you have only taken 3 half pills and if the pill was the smallest pill size, then you are at a good stopping point already. You've taken a very small dose for not very long and are unlikely to have trouble stopping.
