DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do you will experience mental confusion, joint pain, dizziness, stomachaches, nausea, tremors, and other signs of withdrawal!. The withdrawal symptoms usually last for 1-2 weeks but in some cases they decrease over a period of one month!. It is recommended that the usage of Zoloft is gradually decreased!. What happens is that Zoloft has a half life for about one day!. That means that every day that passes without you taking Zoloft, the level in the blood falls about 50%!. After two days the level of Zoloft is reduced to 25%, after three days to 12, 5% and so on until it wears out completely!. And because of its half-life, it can cause many problems!. There is one particular, very unpleasant withdrawal symptom called REM Behavior Disorder!. When moving your eyes too quickly, you dream in sequences- you are awake but you have hallucinations like you are actually dreaming!.

I did this once and got so sick! I was vomiting and had a headache and basically had a panic attack!. i thought I was fine and didnt need it but I got really sick!. You shoudl never go cold turkey!.
