In reply to Side Effects of tapering off Zoloft , posted by Donna on February 11, 2000, at 19:21:05
I am so glad someone else is having the same effects I am. I have been on Zoloft since last June, starting with 50 mg, then 100, and then 150 last October. The weight gain was bothering me and my big fear- y2k- went smoothly so I talked to my psychiatrist about getting off Zoloft. He said do it slowly. So I went down to 100 mg in early January and then last week, after a month at 100, I went down to 50 mg, and the very next day I started feeling very dizzy and lightheaded. It's been 4 days now and I still feel gross. I am ok if I sit down or lie down but as soon as I stand up I feel sick. I am glad there is a valid reason for this. I suppose this will wear off and then when I stop taking Zoloft altogether I will go through this again.
Thanks.
Laura
