I know it depends on various factors, but, from the time you take your last Zoloft tablet, about how long do those withdrawal symptoms last for? Anybody, from your experiences?I went off Zoloft at the same time I started Remeron, but I had already decreased my Zoloft down to 50mg a day (I think) so I really didn't notice much withdrawal. Zoloft was my "drug of choice" before switching to Remeron (I would NEVER go back to it now). I remember going "cold turkey" with the Zoloft several times in the past when I just got so fed up with the side effects that I couldn't stand it anymore. Zoloft withdrawal was NOT a fun thing! In fact, that's when I was most prone to suicidal thoughts. I WISH I could remember how long the withdrawal took, but I can't. It (thankfully) seems like a long time ago. I did best when I went off Zoloft with very gradual reductions over a long period of time. But then, you seem to be having a different experience with the Remeron than me, so I'm not sure my feedback will be of much help. But I'm wondering if the increased anxiety you're feeling is part of the Zoloft withdrawal? Wish I could be of more help.
