"To withdraw from the Zoloft you may need to get good at cutting tablets into little pieces. Not everyone finds SSRI withdrawal difficult though- hopefully you be be lucky."
This is actually quite true: many people don't have substantial difficulties withdrawing. I think that on p-babble we just tend to hear disproportionately from the ones who do. (This, of course, is not to minimize the difficulty that some people have in going off the SSRIs.) FYI, I withdrew from Lexapro a couple of years ago in pretty good order, going down from 10 mg to 5 mg to 2.5 mg over a month or so. No real side effects, outside of possibly night sweats, and a gradual return of my depression.
Good luck,
