Hi there is a Withdrawal board which you should post on. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/wdrawl/
Welcome to the group.
BTW, switching to Prozac would help because it has a long half life and so you would be able to get off that quite easily.

> Looking for a light at the end of this tunnel. I went on Zoloft for post partum several years ago and have been wanting to go off it for a year. So I started very slowly a year ago by cutting from 100 to 50mg. Then I got pregnant again a few months ago and I decided I want to be off this while I am pregnant (and forever now that I know the hell of withdrawl). So I took it slowly and over the course of a month and a half I went from 50mg to 25 to every other day, then finally 2 weeks ago I stopped altogther.

> Not only am I experiencing horrible morning sickness, but I also am going through some horrible withdrawl. I fly into fits of irritability and even rage. I cry so much at the drop of a hat. I have no patience with anything. I am so tired it is as if I am drugged. I can barely function to make it to work. My husband is not sure what to think but he really doesn;t even want to talk to me and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to be around me either. I am complaining mostly about the mood swings. It is horrific. When will this go away? Is there anything I can do to lessen the withdrawl side effects? Other than go back on Zoloft...I will never go on it again. Will this last forever? Thanks.daisy4
