I started taking zoloft approx. two years ago. I was in a rut. It was something I resisted for as long as possible. But, it definitely got me out of the rut and on my way back to my normal self.
Now I am ready to be done and FEEL again.
Plus I have gained 30 lbs.As for the withdrawls...they are so hard to explain. Mostly nausea. I feel it when I'm hungry, eating, and digesting food. Drinking a moderate amount of alcohol is a bad experience as well. Headaches have become a daily occurance. These are not your normal headaches, they are different than any headache I've ever had. (if I had missed a pill in the past--by the end of the day I'd have one of these headaches) I feel tired and worn out, but not sleepy.
I have done this with my doctor's guidance and direction so I am positive that these symptoms will dissapate in the near future.

PinkyJean, don't give up, it's worth it. I weaned off successfully after 8 years of zoloft in 8/2005. I've slowly lost the 45 lbs. I gained and feel great. That's not say that the stresses of life have gone away - I'm just dealing with them better. I tried so many times to get off the stuff and couldn't. Hang in there - it is seriously worth it. Life is great without the zoloft "haze"!!!!!!
