I have been taking 50mg for three years due to stress and panic attacks. I am trying to quit cold turkey and I feel horrible. I feel like my brain is floating around and it is extremely difficult to concentrate. Today is day 8 and I hope this withdrawal ends soon. I am so tired all the time and extremely emotional (I always feel like crying or laughing hysterically). I don't think it is a good idea to quit like this. Zoloft increases the serotonin production and quitting cold turkey suddenly decreases the production and our brains go into shock. I think everyone should be careful if suddenly quitting and be sure to speak with your doctor. I am giving myself only a few more days and may go back on if symptoms have not gotten better.
