None really... been on and off for 30 years
Zoloft is something i will leave but always be connected to. The side effects are tolerable compared to the emotional roller coaster of not taking it

Hi chriswb. I was on it for only several years. I know that there was a study done, about ten years ago which then reported no long term, side effects. You know yourself that stopping it, would require you to taper. Its been around close to 30 years, if not longer. What I'll do is go through some of my older notes and see if I can dig it up. I'll post it, or parts of it, if I do happen to find it.

I've been on Zoloft for at least 15 years too (100 mg daily) and wonder if it's even possible to get off it? I'm doing fine now as far as depression but I feel foggy-brained sometimes... maybe just aging but it would be great to get off if I can. That's the only med I take right now.

Hi tenzera. I would think yes. Its just how to go about. 15 years is a long time. And as to my original answer, I've never added anything to it as much as I've not been able to find anything. have a good one.
