I was taking 100 mg Zoloft for approximately a year for a host of problems I was having and was doing great. My doctor instructed me that I could stop taking it at any time with no side effects. Feeling like I was at the point where I could cope without the medication, I stopped taking the Zoloft within the past two weeks. Now, I am now experiencing some weird symptoms such as dizziness when walking and focusing (visually)problems; generally a feeling like my brain isn't able to process the information it receives at the same rate that it had prior to stopping the medication. It's like my brain is stuck in first gear while the rest of my body is in drive.
My question is, are these types of effects something I should have expected, and if they are, how long should they last - days, weeks, months? I'm pretty worried about it right now. Please help...
