> Thanks for the article. I went to my regular doctor becuase I thought something was terribly wrong with me!! The confusion, dizziness and fatigue are terrible (but getting better). He gave me an antibiotic. Guess I don't need that. I'm so gald to hear from someone b/c the anxiety is getting to me.

Are you switching meds or taking a break?I have found that coming off of Zoloft clears my head up a bit. Life and my thinking seems crisper. I have had three trials of Zoloft. Once was for a year, the next for a month, and the last was for 7 months or so.
I hope you feel better and don't have to go back on the Zoloft. It should only get better from now on. Anything weird is defiitely from discontinuation at the moment and not underlying mood problems. In a good month or six weeks you will know if you need to try another SSRI or other med again.Next time you can cut back to 25mg and even 12.5mg because the 25mg pills are splitable {not sure if they are scored}. I was once prescribed 37.5mg with Wellbutrin, so I remember splitting tiny pills.
Good luck!
