All medication changes I ever did where stopping an antidepresant and starting the other at the same day. There were more, but the side effects I remember most are blurred vision, brain zaps, joint pain and anxiety. They came from the mix of side effects and withdrawal of the two ADs. It is not the same as quitting one medication.
Besides that, I quit Zoloft cold turkey twice, not taking anything after quitting. I had no withdrawal effects. I just had the anxiety and depression back after about 10 days.
