Hi

Been taking Zoloft for near 2 decades. 50 mg daily. Major issues is insomnia and void of emotions. Failure nearly always due to increased irritability and anxiety. This is all I take. Other than over the counter vitamins. I am looking for support and I really want to make it this time. I am 63 and I am so tired of crappy nights and pretty much feeling like an empty shell. Thank you in advance.

Welcome, @christiane41

 

I am sorry you've had these difficulties. Since you've found it hard to discontinue in the past, you may wish to taper very gradually. See Tips for tapering off sertraline (Zoloft) Tapering with a liquid probably is the easiest way to do it.
