> Oh, so sorry, I didn't realize this was a fan page for the pharmaceutical industry and lifelong dependency. Why do I want to come off Zoloft? Uh, I don't want to take drugs the rest of my life? I was put on it when I was 14 and no one seems to find it a problem that it was never stopped. And morgan's post might has well come from Pfizer itself. What a load of crap.
There is no need to be rude to the members here. Many people here have suffered depression for years. I could understand that if you were put on a drug as a teen and now that those often turbulent years are over you might want to try to stop the zoloft. However, there are people here who have suffered with depression for years, and who will need to continue taking meds for the rest of their lives and there is nothing wrong with that. Would you recommend someone suffering suffering from psychotic delusions stop their meds? I highly doubt you would, so can you see why it sounds crazy to someone who has suffered for years with depression for someone to want to stop a drug that is making them not want to kill themselves. Also I don't think you need to take at what morgan said, I think he was just trying to offer useful advise.
Also zoloft is generic so I'm sure that Pfizer isn't wasting their time having people go on forums to promote the drug. You do often see that with newer drugs though, generally not on this forum, because it is so 1997.
