In reply to tapering from 50mg of Zoloft to 25mg too fast?, posted by SDA on May 22, 2004, at 2:54:15
> As the topic states, I'm considering stepping down from 50 to 25mg of Zoloft. It did its job to a satisfactory degree, but is probably just holding me back cognitively at this point. I was originally on 75mg, and went down to 50mg a couple of weeks ago. So far I've had none of the classic "brain zaps". The past couple days I've had head fuzziness starting around noon and lasting into the evening.

If you are cutting back, I think going from 50 to 25 would be the prudent thing to do, but I would still suggest discussing this with your pdoc first. My own experience with Zoloft and Effexor was that I never suffered any withdrawal symptoms on Zoloft regardless of whether or not I tapered, and I always suffered withdrawal symptoms on Effexor regardless of whether I tapered or not.Todd
