If you have any Valium, that will help - seriously, not being a smarty, but it is used to help withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps the Doctor's office could call you in a prescription?
I wish you the best with this, I know it is very difficult.

SSRI's shouldn't be causing breathing problems. Something else might be going on, or it could be a product of anxiety and depression itself. You're also not supposed to just stop taking an SSRI cold. You need to work with your doctor about weaning yourself off of it slowly.
If it's truly 'withdrawl,' which I'm not sure about, then the only thing you do is wait for it to go away.
Keep your doctor's appointment, but something doesn't sound quite right.

Call your doctor after you read this....today...now...side effects of medication are nothing to joke about...or joke with...if you are having breathing problems...call an ambulance...go to the emergency room...and call your doctor from there...
Zoloft side effects are well known..and ignorance of them can cause you the quality ofyour life...or your life itself.....
Did I mention calling your doctor this moment?
