Hello there,
I was on 100 mg Zoloft and weaned down to 25mg every three days...I just couldn't get past this point without severe side effects; to include brain zaps, dizziness, nausea, severe anger for little reason. The psychiatrist told me that she thought that the "withdrawal symptoms" were more psychological than actually from the meds..hmm..never had these little zaps previously. Anyway, I did some reading and I decided to take a 5-htp 50mg combo pill (by lucinda bassett...not endorsing just the one i'm using)...anyway, I was able to make it 8 days now without the zoloft. I am still having some side effects, but they are tolerable now. I hope that the little zaps go away (much less than before alraedy)soon. I have also added B12 to the mix, I took it this morning for the first time in the am and I felt nauseous (wouldn't recommend am treatment). So, depending on your stability and situation, this may be a viable solution to the immediate effects you are experiencing.
