jakyoga65: Tapering off Zoloft

Day six of zero Zoloft. I do not feel better or worse. Just wondering how others have proceeded. My psych wants me to start Cymbalta right now, even though she said it really does not meet my criteria. Looking to see if others have had experience with this and how you went forward. Thanks all. J

Hello, and welcome to SA.  We are a volunteer-run community of people who have been or are getting off of psychiatric drugs.  Have you gone off Zoloft cold turkey, or tapered?  How long were you on it? Is your goal to get off psych meds, or to get advice about switching drugs?  

 

 

Please do not private message me.  Only tag me for urgent questions about tapering and reinstating - thank you.  

 

***Please note this is not medical advice.  Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a doctor who understands psych meds and how to withdraw from them, if you can find one.
