I don't think you should just "stop." I had HORRIBLE withdrawl symptoms when I was forced to quit Zoloft cold turkey (due to insurance.) I couldn't see straight, had horrible headaches, and felt as if there were electric zap's (buzzing) in my brain. I couldn't walk a straight line - it was AWFUL.
In my humble opinion, I would taper :)

Good luck!
