you need to ask your doctor to taper you off. very slowly. the side effects would include flu like symptons and little electric zaps. i remeraber thinking i would never take anything like that again because it was so hard to get off of, but now i am on prozac. i don't think the withdrawals are the same as zoloft. but i don't know because i still need it and am taking it every day. you definately need to taper off of zoloft, you will feel lots better. call your doctor NOW!!!! hope you feel better soon. ;-)
