Lots of luck!!
My Zoloft withdrawl (actually I think I've done it 3 times) wasn't nearly as bad as Paxil or Effexor withdrawl. What's your taper schedule?
I've mentioned this a few places, but I've learned that small doses of Prozac are sometimes used to help ease the withdrawl from the shorter-acting SSRI's.
Keep us posted and hang in there!

Hey snooz,
I'm going from 50/25 every other day to just 25 for 5 days, then 25 every other day, then nothin'. I'm working with a pdoc on it.
He said to start a second AD as soon as zoloft withdrawal subsides, if I have troubling symptoms again.
So far I just feel a little out of it at times, maybe a little dizzy for short periods, but the taper is not that much yet. It may just be my brain trickin' me. :D

The dizzyness sounds like a familiar withdrawal effect. I had to take it REALLY slow.
Good luck.
