Hi, When I say 'short term', I mean 6 months to a year. All I mean is not a lifetime. What's the normal length of time someone should be on this drug? For instance, 7 years ago I had a CVA which caused a lot of problems and I was given Zoloft. I took it for a little over a year, but I took myself off. I've heard so much about the seratonin drugs causing your brain to stop producing seratonin correctly, plus I have to take other medications, and I'm really scared of drugs anyway. So with all of that, I decided to quit taking the Zoloft on my own, but it really helped me at the time. It was one reason I really wanted my husband to be able to get on one of these types of antidepressants, but I just don't want him to have to take it forever. That was basically all I meant by short term.
