I just happened to be researching Zoloft and learned why I now feel the way I do...the increased anxiety, irritability, and sleeplessness, among several others. Before I started taking it, these problems were far less severe...except for the depression, which has slightly decreased. I can't believe the doctor gave me something with so many side effects. What happens if I just stop taking it cold turkey...I've heard that you're not supposed to do that, but why not? I don't like being so agitated and tired all the time, and I'm not sure it's worth the large amount of money it costs for how little it actually helps me...

Well, it's not like the "HUGE" 25mg dosage is that great anyways...I think it could do more if I could get a bigger dose. Maybe not...I give up on meds anyways...because I can't afford them and getting a prescription filled is next to impossible.

Zoloft can be wicked for some people. I quit it after one day. Check with your doctor first.

My friend is on Zoloft, and she takes it BECAUSE she's irritable and anxious, and she loves it. Have you given it long enough to work?
Maybe that's just the wrong one for you... I wouldn't go off with out talking to the doc first. My doc warned the depression can come back worse if not taken off properly.

depending on your dosage, you can't get off it cold turkey. theres alot of risks involved. i would call your doc right away.
zoloft made me feel like a zombie. i went off it cold turkey...bad idea. i hope you find a good med. i'm on lexapro and it seems to be good so far.
