49er, thank you for your suggestions and concern. As a follow up, I spoke with my mother's doctor yesterday and he suggested to start giving her the Zoloft every other day for two weeks, and then to revisit her status after that. I asked if the weaning process shouldn't be more subtle, but he says not necessarily, that there is enough residual in her system for her to accept this new plan. I'm not sure I trust him now that I've read so many other posts to the contrary, but maybe I should????!!! My mother is extremely reluctant to go to any kind of a mental doctor so the true diagnosis of whether it is onset of Alzheimer's, dementia, or just depression isn't easy to confirm.

Once again, thanks to all of you and best wishes for the healthiest and happiest of holiday seasons and for the new year.
