Stopping Zoloft


Can I stop Zoloft, I have been on it for several years?

Well, in general you can stop any medication you want. But I have no idea why you were on Zoloft and suggest that you speak to your doctor first before discontinuing the medication. In general, Zoloft should be tapered off gradually over a few weeks. Reduce the dose by a quarter each week. However, please speak to your doctor before you start mucking around with Zoloft. Too rapid cessation can lead to withdrawal symptoms and perhaps symptoms of your original disease may crop up.
