I initially had mild anxiety attacks and was prescribed this evil drug. Was taking 100mg for 8 months then made the mistake of quitting cold turkey in Nov 03. What a disaster. Wasn't warned of any side effects by doctor until too late. Had severe deppressive episodes and outrageous mood swings. Zoloft has slowly ruined my life, marriage etc. It just seems to compound & magnify everything gloomy. The insomnia is torture. Unfortunately I had to go back onto 100mg and have just started tapering from 100mg down to 50mg. I am going to go for two weeks at this level (it's been 1 week now and no side effects) whilst using the 'Immunocal' product to help with this process. It gives itself glowing testimonials, so we'll see how it goes. After this next week I'll go down to 25mg for two weeks then down to 12.5mg for a week. After that just 12.5mg every second day for a week. This should exhaust both my current prescription and my supply of 'Immunocal' also. I can't wait to get my life back and never put another pill in my system. Keep you posted.
