I am of the opinion that you should restart zoloft and then inch away from it. Break a 25mg into halves and take 12.5mg one day. If that doesn't relieve the withdrawal symptoms for you, then take 25mg the next day. Keep trying to inch lower after that, but in small steps and in no hurry. When I came off zoloft, I would break the pill into several pieces so that I could take small steps down. In the end I was taking just a crumb a day. Withdrawals were hardly anything when I finally stopped, and only lasted a couple days. What has helped me a lot in the past is to reduce dosage in little increments. And stay at each new dose for about two or three days before trying to go lower.
Or you could stick it out. Don't know how long that will be or if you'll still have a job by then. It seems to me that being able to go to work is extremely important, more important than getting off zoloft in a hurry. I think dropping down in 25mg increments over just a two week period was too aggressive.
