Zoloft is a cousin to Prozac; and like Prozac you can not suddenly stop taking it. I know that Prozac will stay in the body for 30 days, and I would think that Zoloft does also. You need to gradually cut your dosage down week by week. However, this weaning process should be done under a doctor's supervision.

I would suggest cutting down the daily dose maybe breaking the tablet in half for a week or so then maybe going to every other day and just weaning yourself off of it. I suppose the best thing to do is speak with the doctor who put you on it about helping you get off of it safely.

YOu really should ask the doctor. I take it 50mg--have taken myself off it by cutting daily dose in half for three weeks and then taking the half dose every other day . I had no problems but after a few months had to go back on it. Yur dose is much larger- becareful-ask doctor.

slow slow slow..promise that you wont go cold turkey with any of these meds unless your doctor says its okay...your brain needs to be weaned off this slowly....your doctor will tell you what dosage and when..if your doctor isn't helping, find a new one...good luck

This should be done only under a doctor's instructions. Go back to the one who gave you the prescription.

you need to call your doctor so he can slowly wean you off. stopping cold turkey is dangerous and yes you are
right it will make you feel awful. talk with your doctor.
