Hello. I started taking 100 mg Zoloft 2 years ago after losing my mother. For the past year I have been cutting the pills in half and taking 50mg. A week ago (July 22) I decided to quit taking the medication because the initial reasons for taking it no longer existed....I wanted my sex drive back as well. The first few days were fine; however I have started getting what I can only describe as quick waves of dizziness... Other people describe this feeling as brain jolts . It is worse today than ever. How long can I expect these awful withdrawal like symptoms and is there anything (maybe Dramamine) that would alleviate these symptoms? Please help. Thank you so much.
Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. I have read your query carefully and understood that you took Zoloft (Sertraline) 100 mg/day for one year, and then you reduced it to 50 mg/day since last one year. Since 1 week you have stopped it abruptly, and now you are having complaint of sudden waves of dizziness. I would like to let you know that you are having Sertraline discontinuation/with Chat Doctor.
