KgnycCan someone tell me how long this feeling lasts and if there's anything I can do to get rid of this dizziness? I am off almost 5 days. Shouldn't the vertigo feeling go away soon?

Hello Kgnyc. I am afraid that the side effects could be with you a bit longer. Its not uncommon to continue feeling them for weeks on end. Going cold turkey is extremely harsh on your body physically and a taper is usually the route to go to ease and comfort the possibility of withdrawl symptoms. An option might be to restart the Zoloft, on a lower dose, then wean, taper off from there. Best of wishes to you, pledge

Thanks Pledge, I have had a terrible stretch lately with a sciatica, which has left me with a completely numb foot. No resolve as of yet but working on it. Didn't need this with my other issues but I guess it makes us stronger. Hope you are well

I agree with Pledge.
I went off it cold turkey a while back and got some crazy dizziness and brain zaps for 2 or 3 weeks. It got so bad I went back on and weaned off over 2 or 3 weeks. Then I was ok.
Thank you. I will do that. Appreciate the feedback.
Thank you. I am going to take a little and see if it helps. I thought after a week, it would go away. But clearly I thought wrong!
Thanks so much for your feedback. I am going to ease up and take a small dose and see if this feeling goes away. Fingers crossed.
I think that will help you a lot. Take some and wean gently. I would go right back on 100 and wean to 50, 25 then skip a day, then skip two, three and finally finish on the fourth. Works very well and you'll get almost no side effects.
Good luck and Kgnyc, keep us posted if you might, tell us how things went or are going for you, pledge
