ANTIDEPRESSANT...JUST GOING ON THE THEORY STUFF. ANY TIPS ON HOW TO DO THIS ?shar - thanks for your reassuring response. No I'm not going cold turkey - I'm slowly decreasing the amounts of Zoloft. I'm down to 25mg every 3rd day. The decrease plus the usual stuff from a former partner, adolescent sons & visits to the dentist for a molar extraction make me feel the withdrawals more I suppose. kate k
